Thanks to the tutorials, the install went very smoothly with no bloody knuckles. I'm really glad I went with the OEM gloss black parts. Here are the results...

Whats wrong with those wheels??? The stocks are PERFECT!
BTW, by OEM you mean you got them from the BMW dealer?

The grills are a factory OEM part. I ordered them from Tischer BMW (http://getbmwparts.com). Part numbers are 51712155446 right oem black and 51712155447 Left oem black. $60 per grill, great customer service and fast shipping. No complaints at all. I could have purchased matte black grills for less but I think the gloss black looks a lot better...at least on a black car.
