Didn't go for black wheels, personally I think the Cerium really works against Tanzanite Blue. I'm loving the cars split personality; stealth factor and under the radar when you want to relax, or make a load of noise and drive like a loon when you don't. Replaces an F30 340 - I had to admit...it's a big leap forward
Fantastic! Absolutely the right move not going for black wheels and grille.

Cheers! Cerium does seem a bit tricky to keep clean but no worse than the F30 grille.

Absolutely loving this car. Drives so well. Discovered ‘reduced mode’ for the gauge cluster and highly recommend it to anyone not using it! Removes that annoying fuel-gauge-touches-edge-of-display-area issue and just looks cleaner.

Collected my car today, interior is definitely an good step up from the 420d. Can't wait till it's run in so I can see how well it shifts.

Looks lovely and really aggressive.

Is the paintwork treated? My car is in Portimão blue too but yours has more of a mirror finish.
Mine is 4 months old now as well.

The car had the Protect X treatment on it. Be interesting to see if it stays that way after a few months.

Did you order it de-badged or was that done at the dealers?

I requested for it to be debadged by the dealer once they took delivery of it as it was a stock car.

I prefer the clean look and didn't want to kinda shout out what model it is. To most people it could be a 320d which is what I like about it, but people on the forums would be able to tell.

I agree, my 340i is de-badged.

I just asked because the option seems to have disappeared from the online configurator compared with the F30.

Ordered in July 2019 wanted it for Nov 2019 but its been sat at dealer for some time...Delayed for 20 plate Played with Driver Assistance Professional enroute home quite impressed so far.. Will be changing grill to MPerformance tomorrow...

It cost me £105 delivered from a BMW dealer in Germany. UK dealers charge £140-150 for supply and its not a stock item.

There are two types, most people can use 51139448474 without parking assistant, 51139448475 with parking assistant.

It took me 45min to fit. I'm not a car trimmer just an engineer so was fearful of snapping some plastic. You do get lots of click clack noise when removing and refitting. Its not rocket science though.

Yep it fits all G20's just need right part number if you have park assist camera (I dont btw). The dealer will not fit as its only meant to fit M340. Its just cosmetic as air shutters still work behind - see my pic with grill off. Mine is a company car so I just thought hell with it I am doing it. I am not sure I would do it if I bought car with my own cash...

Mines a company car too! Realistically I could just use the black grille (the one you took off)? I just don’t like the chrome at all
