NEW: Glossy black diamond style grille

This is now offered with the inner pieces also in black.

I am in a bit of a battle with creative motoring. They said a few days ago that it will fit my 330i xdrive car. However, they confirmed in their warehouse all of their grilles have the hole in it.

I am under the impression that the ones with the hole require a G20 to have the S5DNA package - Parking Assistance Plus.

I do not have that and I just wrote them back asking what they would like to do since they told me it would fit before I researched here and they've shipped it to me...(it arrives on Saturday per the tracking #).


Update: Spoke to their Sales Manager and he is going to send me a packing slip so I can send it back to them.

I did more research and it seems OEM BMW part #: 51-13-9-448-474 will fit my car.

My question... is the whole grille black? I can't tell from glare if the inner part is black or another color.

They look identical. Both have a hole at the bottom center for the parking camera.

Yeah, but that is not the reality. On the BMW dealer site it says this:

Description:
G20 3 Series M340iX Gloss Black Front Kidney Grille. Not for vehicles with park assist plus option. (*image shown is the version w/ park assist plus)

The S5DNA grille ends in a 5, the non version is 4
