big improvement -- looks great 
As for the missing piece, what happened to the original?!
No doubt you can order it from BMW, you'll just need to find the part number on realoem.
Alternatively you may find something on Ebay; there are quite a few companies advertising parts from written off vehicles.

Great question about the original.

I don't know the (modding) history of your car, so assumed that who ever you bought the Mesh grill from, should also be able to sort you out with this part. Looks like you need the whole element, rather than just the mesh part. But if you don't have access to that info/history, then maybe the info below is what you need -
The part number is 51117896586 and is item 11 below, called "Gitter Mitte". Not sure how its fitted though.

Cool thanks. That looks like the part, although it doesnt appear to be a snap in.
Hey Mag, contact Nerweezy again. Trinity sells OEM M-Tech as well as reps, maybe they can help you get the part you need. The car looks great BTW subtle but drastic difference
