M340i with vertical slat grill instead of mesh pattern

Just arrived on the lot. Ignore the missing tow hook cover.

It has the black M Performance vertical slat grill.

Grill looks good, and the black on black looks very stealthy, only problem is the lower intakes and mirror caps need a cerium delete to match the grill, just looks out of place.

nice grill!

I feel a little jealous about yours because my 2020 M340i XDrive was hit by a neighbor while parked 2 months ago and it's been like 40+ days since BMW cannot get the grill for my car because they say "is too new". My car is just like the white one in your photo.

So is the “active” part of the grill behind the grill that people are replacing?

More specifically, my question is that if I pulled out the current grill to have painted, would it interfere with the active elements?

Do you have a part number, that would help immensely!

I don't man sadly , It seems like not a lot of people have much info on that grille, when I ordered that option.. I thought I would get the traditional black slatted grilles, I was surprised when I seen the all black mesh but honestly it looks so good in person!! I love it

Yeah, I've been trying to run this down for a couple weeks now, even the Canadian dealers can't get one for whatever reason. I can get the surround painted, but was trying to make it easy.

BMW Germany hasn't released all M340i parts to be orderable from the U.S. I have been struggling trying to get a grill for my M340i since early June and dealerships don't have the right part numbers yet it seems that the system in the U.S. is not showing the appropriate numbers that correspond to the M340i and if you order something you may get a part that doesn't fit.
