That is good news for the f82 guys ... F32 OEM performance grilles surrounds will match up to the f82 slats!!

Very nice ... This is NOT the case for the F10 so good news for you F82 guys

Should be a fairly easy and cheap mod ... Well worth the time ... Looks beautiful

light weight! Ahh ... it's only cause they don't have much else available for the F82 YET(<--dangerous word there)!

Isn't it insane how much money we spend on all of our little goodies BEFORE we even take delivery ... lol then the fun never stops!

BMW has not released a M3/M4 specific grill yet. So far people are using a F32 grille and swapping the outer ring onto the F82 centers.

Looking through the bimmian website, they have the double grilles already for sale, but they will not have it in stock till september
They will sell the complete grille in matte or gloss black, probably a carbon fiber version in the future? :
I know they are not OEM but they are nicely priced, plus they will give you a 10% if you pre-order. Heres the link...

Between gloss black and matt black for Sakhir Orange, which one to go with. Do I have to replace grill inserts also or just the outer grill. I suppose the grill insert is already black?

Gloss and outer only... at least that's what I did on mine.

I might be the only one but I don't like the double slat look at all. same goes for the badge.

ill probably just swap in the BMW 4 series performance grills and leave it at that.

Are these double slat grills? I assume grills that fit the F82 also fit the F80?

Yes, according to their description they are the double slat version.

F80 grills fit the F30 but not the F82, same goes for the F82 grilles, they fit the F32 but not the F80 or the F30 since they have a different shape. Hope this helps
