Front Grill Color

[PakBMW]

Thanks Don, I was told that whole front bumper needs to come out, then they need to treat plastic with some abrassive agent and paint it.
I was also wondering if paint would chip off with time because of being exposed to so much wind and dust!!!! Pictures on BMW brochure has it painted and looks very cool.

PakBMW,
The pictures on the BMW brochures are from a 4.8 which has a Titanium kidneys rather than the black ones on the 3.0. It is not painted to match the car colour, it is titanium irrespective of the car colour. Getting it painted is a fairly straightforward job I would think since the two parts can be removed they do need to be prepped tho $500-600 sounds toppy.
The alternative is just buying the BMW part Titanium ones for $200 since your car is space grey, check this thread. Then you can experiment with your black ones and see how the painting works out.

Thanks C , I did't realize that is 4.8. I did the search but didn't know they are called "kidneys". I wonder if there is a bladder on my bimmer as well some where .

Thanks again for great help folks, solves my problem.
