First F30 w/ M3 grilles?? Take a look!

Hi guys, thanks for looking, threw on m3 grilles in Matte Black to see how it looks. The product is not fully out yet, there are only a few grilles out. (This is not from a F80 M3, those will not fit a F30)

Mod list (in case anyone was curious)
autotecknic msport bodykit
oem performance front lip
autotecknic performance trunk spoiler
autotecknic front grille (the single slat one)
H&R Super sports
Avant Garde M359 19X9 +35 square setup (The e92 M3 competition wheels look)
Canbus HID's
Canbus LED DRL
m3 double slatted grilles
Custom magnaflow quad exhaust
Tints 35 front limo in the rear

So on to the story! Hope you enjoy it!
Bought my AW F30 328i used with 14k miles for $27k
Total pricing for all the mods done ~$4200 (includes paint/install etc)

Forgot to take completely stock photos of the car, was too eager to mod it haha




Now on to the mods!
(sorry in advance for crappy iPhone pics, don't have a nice camera )








Better pic of the grille!


What I have to go through every morning!

Random pic!


I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I ask if you guys could keep the negativity to a minimum Thanks again for looking!

Any questions feel free to ask!

Everything looks great, but for me I am not one to like the M grilles. I don't get the infatuation with them mostly from a design standpoint. The single slats are less noticeable so not as busy to blend in with the bottom mesh grille a little better but still not ideal. Putting the M style grille, even with the M3/M4 is like wearing plaid pants with a striped shirt.

Thanks for all the comment guys! I do agree that it did look more busy in the front with the double slats, but I'm trying to make it grow on me. After a few months and if I still feel like it's not growing on me then I will switch back to my single slats I'll also try to get a more proper shot of the car soon lol these photos really do suck and doesn't justify how it really looks

These are aftermarket! The F80M3/F82M4 grilles fit the F32 with no special mods but for the F30 you'll have to get aftermarket ones from some manufacturers. Let me know if you're interested in one, I can refer you to where I got mine which is in SoCal

Looks good, I like it! I change out all of my grills on my BMWs to black as soon as I get them.

Someone needs to make an exact replica of the grills without the badge but retaining the stock chrome surround instead of just defaulting to the all black look.
