You can get the aftermarket M badge that retrofits to the dual slat grills on eBay. Otherwise guys are buying the oem m badge from the dealer and making their own hardware to fasten it to the grills.

Yes, OEM F82/M4 grill. Heat gun, dental floss and re-position "M"...done. No need to "fabricate" or "jerry rig" anything aftermarket...just purchase the OEM one and be done with it. By the time you're done trying to make it work and/or look OEM, you could've had the real thing... .

I went for a stock M performance grill. However I also bought an eBay twin version - seems to be good quality but haven’t fitted it yet.

You can never go wrong with the standard all black M grills. IMO I have just always found the look of the dual slat tricky depending on what car they go on.

Your absolutely right. I found the dual slats really cheap so was just curious.
I am against making the F32 look like an M4. BMW created M performance parts for the F32 to make it an M car in its own right. To make into into a wannabe M4 is not my thing. Same goes for the rear spoiler as tempting as it was to try the M4 style I went for the F32 dedicated version. |

I think which slat depends heavily on the car, if you have M-sport package, double slat will look good, but on normal models, I think it looks overkill. As such, single slat is my preference, because I just have a normal F32 without the M-sport body. I prefer this look actually as every one and their mother has a M-sport body now a days, non M sport like mine is a rare sight:

idk, I have the basiest base model out there, even rocking halogens, and I think dual slat works. Dual slat is more distinguishing than single slat. There are things that should be left to ///M's, like bumpers and badges, but I think dual slat is acceptable on non-///M's.

Also... I recently stumbled across 11 slat (single) grilles and have been wondering what they would look like on an F30. |

Mine came with the chrome outsides and gloss black inside and i swapped it out to the oem gloss black and it looks WAY better and meaner.
