So I just picked up the grills today, from my bud over at BMW... Cost me $62 a piece. They were ordered from Germany as the dealer did not stock them... He ordered extra so if anyone is interested, I would be more than happy to pass his info along. I wil post picks when I put them on tommorow...
Pm and I will pass along his info. His prices are better than any other OEM vendor...

2. price is shipped/+shipping? I'm in Brooklyn - would drive, local pick-up available?

you lucky man, here in germany the stealer wants 98? for OEM black grills.. a real steal!
Edit: You know what, a re-import would be cheaper than buying it directly in germany..funny..

Sounds like the grills, i.e. left and right, cost $136 (2x $68), so its basically the same price as you pay at the dealer in Germany. That's a fair deal in my mind for some OEM parts, which are maybe not so readily available in the US.

If your in Brooklyn, you can just pick it up in Jersey... Also remember I'm not selling them, just recommending some people to him. He's a good buy and sell OEM parts on XBimmer forum.
I'll PM you his info.

Damn, that's so expensive... Just get Rep's.. ranging from $36 -$64 for Matte Black grills. =) Great quality. 
True, but these are OEM and they are not Matte Black... Guess its a matter of taste...but a $140.00 is not much for a 60K plus car...
