Why does the video become blurry when they go to the front grill close up? I still haven't seen a clear close up picture of how the grill looks on this car.

I guess that's a good reason to go out of focus there.

Not just you, they're hideous. Sometimes BMW tries new things that just don't work out. This will be one of those.

Are the grills just completely blocking airflow? All of the pics I've seen, it looks like they're solid.

I've noticed that the rear looks better with lighter colors. I think it's because of this stupid 90s style black upper part of the new rear light design. It lacks contrast with dark colors which somehow doesn't look good.

I think its ridiculous that none of the US models are getting black trim.... Hondas, Fords, Range Rovers, Jaguars, Mercedes, Jeeps ALL have black trim options and BMW gives us an ugly grey/silver with only the M Competition models coming in black?

My feelin about all this plastic crap on there in general. So cheap lookin ant clearly cost cuttin to let them swap the look of lines. Makes it such a mess from a visual standpoint ... imagine if Austin Martin did that ha

Anyone with an F80 M3, not worth switching. Drove an M340i and it just doesn't do it for me coming from an F80. Honestly the Kia Stinger drives just as well 😂 Maybe unless you need to twirl your fingers to change the volume.

Upgrading an electronic grill sounds terrifying, I can only imagine how expensive that'll be.

Wow! That's interesting!! One day before I pickup!!! Care to elaborate?

Handling?
Acceleration?

Road presence??

Did you get ANY thumbs while driving!?!?!?!

I hope you're not worried about getting a bunch of thumbs up in this car. It looks great and would likely be a great daily, but not really a thumbs up kind of car. Not even the F80s were.

It's a nice car, but not exactly road presence. Unless you get a loud color, blends right in with any other non M bmw. Most will prob confuse it with a 5er.

Handles decent. It's no E90, or M3/4 if you're wondering, but for a daily it's more than enough.

We better get this is package in the states ASAP . It looks so much better blacked out as opposed to the cerium grey. If not IND is going to make a killing on all these parts lol . Now all it needs is the M performance black grill from the 330i and were golden.
In your opinion. Too many people on this forum who think their tastes are the be all and end all. It especially is unfortunate when there is an article on someone's new ride and they say "it's nice but..." learn some tact people!

Black M340i Grille - Part Number?

So is there any way to identify the part number for this grille? Apparently only showing up on Canadian models, is there anyone that works with a Canadian dealer and can help to identify the part? I'd like to order one.

No, I can do without the added attention..., and I was kinda being facetious with that one. But, in my area, I did get the occasional thumbs up from other M drivers, as well as non-M...

I hope they immediately put 3m clear vinyl over the b pillar or it'll be swirled in no time like we all know. I'm still torn on the front grill. It looks to have a sharp point that from that angle it looks like it's not fully installed and snapped in place
