What's the part number for this grille? It's exactly what i need

So I purchased a black grill (nuggets still cerium) to replace my chrome one from BMWPartsPro.com for a great price: $177.97 ($349.95 other places) and it came about 3 weeks later, packaged nicely and was exactly what I ordered.

I went to my local body shop hoping they could just pry off my old one and slip this new one in given that it appears to only be mounted with clips. But they quoted me 2.6 hours for installation or $325. The BMW Dealership claims they probably have to take the bumper off to install the new grill and estimated $5-700! Seems expensive--maybe I'm getting ripped off?

Anyone have any experience so far with replacing their grills on a 2021 4 series?

Mate please tell me how you cut that part out. I also need to do it but have no idea how to do it , your cut out looks clean

I used a dremel to cut that out. Trust me, up close is not that clean (I don’t have a steady hand and patience). From 6 feet away, you can’t tell but from 6 inches away, not perfect. I also painted the cut areas with black gloss paint. Figured the grille is cheap enough that if I messed up, could cheaply buy another.

Just curious if anyone has put a black wrap over the chrome grill rather than replace it? I have clear PPF on the trim of my grill, the grey horizontal bars do not have it but all the black trim is covered.

Have not wrapped, but depending on price, can buy blacked out grill instead?

I’ve asked two BMW parts manager and they don’t have them in stock yet.
My concern is with ACC as they seem different sizes even if the grille is a perfect fit to the bumper

EU model does seem to have the same size.

Did you have to cut out the camera hole as well? Looking to do this to mine. Also what did you use to black out the ACC module cover?

On my existing CSL grille, it came with a camera hole.

I played around with airbrushing Black 3.0 and Musou Black as Vantablack is not commercially available. Since they’re acrylic, it’ll fade overtime and ceramic coating it will put a sheen on it which will defeat the purpose. I just ordered Black 4.0 to see if it’s any better.

I can’t find dual slat with forged carbon fiber on their website. Can you please send the link for where you got it from?
