Bimmian grills are about twice as much as the ones on eBay. Anyone know why? How much is it from the dealer as OEM equipment?

Werd! Remember the $140+ interior "Xenon bulbs" we bought from Bimmian...? My guys are still clowning on me at the office for paying that much

I knew you'd chime in. haha
So if OEM is only $80, why is Bimmian selling their aftermarket grills for $120?

They are probably cheap quality and we should note that there are about 20 bulbs in that package, just for the interior, probably more. So I guess the price adds up.
, and they're freaking hot. I had it shout out the word "Sh!t" a few times

Hi,
I've replaced my chrome kidneys with black ones, i ordered black kidneys and had them painted - only
the outer part - in carbonblack. costed about 200 ?, must say its looking good...
I wouldn't paint the inner part of the (certainly not the original chrome) kidney since this tends to flake off...
Enjoy your mod...

Hi there,
I live in the Netherlands and am looking for original BMW Chrome kidney grills. Do you still have the ones you replaced ....
Can I buy them from you?
Regards,
Marc

I just ordered a pair last week should have before the end of the week. Not to sure how I feel about having black grilles. If I don't like them you can take them off me
