OEM for best fit. Look at the diy section

bmwpartspros.com
getbmwparts.com https://www.bmwoffairfax.com/order-parts-online.htm They are backed by dealerships selling oem parts at a discount. You can search for the part on their sites. Compare prices, your local dealer may be able to price match. The first two are forum sponsors. For aftermarket non oem grills try amazon. Or http://www.jbspeed.com is a forum sponsor but on the pricier side so compare with oem price. |

DONT GO CHEAP! I did with my E46, bought it through Amazon, made in China and shipped from China (which was not revealed by Amazon). I had to fuss it into place and I regretted going non-oem. Do yourself a favor, you’ll regret going off brand.

To replace them use an old bike spoke. You can feed the back through the grill and unhook the clips without having to remove parts of the bumper. Do the job when it's warm so everything is more flexible.

I got these and they look and feel great. I don't think going non oem is a big deal. Just don't get cheap crap from China. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
