Where does one get black kidneys?
 
Hi, I am looking for black kidney grilles, but can't seem to find anything decent. I actually purchased a set on ebay, but it is a piece of junk that will not stay in place. Fitment is so so as well.

Help a brotha out please. Point me in the right direction. Thanks.

I never went with black ones but heres a place:

Bimmian.com - Unique BMW Accessories made for BMW brand vehicles M3 E46 E90 E92 E82 1 3 5 Series - Personalizing Perfection (colored- matt - painted - etc)

Thank you very much.

I bought some from that same source (bimmian.com) in titanium silver to match my e60. Good quality, good fit. I will likely buy a set to match my X sometime soon. Good luck.

I am going to buy that one. The ebay stuff is garbage. I don't know why I even took the chance with this cheap fleabay crap.

Am I the only reader that thought you were literally looking for Black "Kidneys"?

...yeah, I had a match from a white guy but, I'm trying to keep my innards as stock as possible:D:D

The Bimmian set look nice and the price is good. I wonder if they use OEM grilles and surrounds.

I bought a set of OEM and had them custom painted body color. I think they look awesome. You might consider doing it that way rather than all matte black. Body color surrounds look great. Bimmian sells them that way too. :thumbup:

I thought about that too. Can't get a mental pic of my car with body color surrounds. You have a pic of yours?
