for me, they look much better than chrome on any colour except black. I think they are about £80 for a pair, excl labour from what i read on another post but i can't be certain. I will be getting them on my mineral grey touring.

£82. Un fitted from sytner. Had mine fitted today after an incident with a pheasant snapped one of the verticles in the chrone ones. Plus I needed a stone chip sorting abd slught realignment of the bumper after said pheasant incidant. So thought id get it all sorted in a oner, all done in an hours labour.
I would say DO IT! I have an f30 in eb and ut just makes the car look more sporty and less executive |

I was the opposite Derek. I was very keen to get the grills before I got the car. I asked the forum too back then. Bit mixed the feedback.
I saw a used F30 EBII with performance grills in person when I was at another BMW garage and the salesman said I should get it on mine. Wasn't feeling it tbh. Back at my local garage, another salesman was trying to sell it to me too. Told him I thought about it but prefer it as is now. Looking at my car, he had a bit of a mental think. And said probably, yeah the chrome goes well with the lines of xenons. EDIT: Would look great though if I had it when I had my winters on with black rims.

I'm happy with the look, it all depends on the colour choice though. I don't think i would choose them if i got the saphire black. |

Definitely worth it! Go for the Black Grilles
Paid about $95 for mine. Have to say they're not Genuine, but seem to be just as good!

While I think the black grilles would be nice on a red car, my problem is the other chrome accents they use on the Lux' model. If I didn't change them all to gloss black I think it might look a bit odd
