that's an original BMW grill isn't it?

I'm very interested what you payed for it, and what the installation costs are...

this looks like original BMW or a very good exact copy however all the grills on Ebay are always a little different from the original so I think this one is really real

Its a genuine BMW grill, fitted courtesy of my dealer for free

Well actually I had a little bump in the car and the original (black) grills needed replacing - but when I got the car back from the BMW bodyshop I realised that they put one chrome grill and one black grill on it - looked so stupid :'(

I kicked up a major stink about how silly it was that they could have made such an error and that I would complain to BMW UK blah blah.... so in the end to appease me they fitted two chrome grills

Cost is I believe about GBP50 each for the grills with an hour fitting, probably looking at GBP200 here in central london for the whole job done at a dealer
