This is the easiest and most straightforward guide on UA-cam. You guys are legends for making guides such as this, and saving me money from asking the dealership to do it.
Watched the video, got the grille, got the tools, since I needed them anyhow. Grille shipped in a timely manner. Installed in 15 minutes. Outstanding value for the product. Looks awesome!
Thank you for this video. It was super helpful as it took me less than 10 minutes to replace the grill. Your instructions were perfect. Keep up the great videos. Rear Spoiler project is next.
This install was a PITA!!! lmao. For some odd reason, my side clips just wouldn't budge but yours popped out with ease haha. Whatever, I got it done with more effort than expected but at least it looks good.
One thing to look out for is to insert that camera all the way in. Otherwise the 360 parking surrounding view will be way off. Happened to me last weekend. Had to take it off to redo. Actually broke 2 plastic
Great video. Can you do a video on how to do an active grill delete. I hate the active grill flaps on my m340i and would love to know a clean Kies way to remove them.
Hello Kies Motorsports & comment section, I have a G30 and I love your videos. Will your G20 DIY videos also apply to a G30 such as oil change and side mirror replacement? Thank you & please keep it up.
Hi, this was very useful, thank you. My next project is to change the window trim from chrome to shadow line, can you post a video on this for a G20 330i?
Hi Bryan, I am gonna get my 2021 5 series next week and will immediately replace that stock kidney grille by a glossy black one. Can you pls. show us how to change on the G30 LCI?
Great video Kies Motorsports! I wanted to ask if you know how to disassemble the actual grille itself. It appears the backside of the grille can be removed, leaving just the frame. My goal is to have the outer gray frame painted gloss black while leaving the gray accents on the inside diamond portion rather than having it all black as pictured in the video. Any help would be most appreciated!
hi, i know someone who had original 'chrome' mesh grill for g20. they then purchased a black one. next, he took the trim of the black grill and configured it onto the 'chrome' mesh grill, replacing the 'chrome' trim. the final result was the black trim on the chrome mesh grill, it looked very good. can you explain how to do this please !?!?
so far I havent seen m340i without that new weird grill type. is it not possible to just get the standard grill for the m340i just as the 330 or 320 has?
For some reason I cannot budge the top clips that hold the grill in place. Tried to push down on the clips while pulling out the grill and nothing moves.
My g20 grille does not have the camera. Can the camera frame located the lower ceter portion of the replacement grille can be easily detached? or is it part of the whole grille that can not be removed to fit G20 grille without the camera??
Hey Bryan, thanks for the video. Could you film a guide for us with how to keep the grill slats open? They are almost closed all the time, so it substantially affects the IAT. Moreover, my M340i looks silly with the slats closed, it does not suit such a performance car. Thank you in advance!
Brian, great video. So I get it, the active grill concept creates aerodynamic efficiencies, but the M340i looks way more badass when the grill shutters are in the open position. Recently I heard that 5 series owners discovered a way to keep shutters open all the time (and it didn't throw a code)...Might have been a fuse they pulled? Do you know if it's possible for the G20?
They most likely did the same thing as to keep your exhaust flaps open all the time. Once the shutters are in the open position, disconnect the power clip from the front air shutters, they should stay in the open position. I don’t think there is any performance or efficiency gained by doing this though.

this video will come in handy in 10 years lol
Came in handy for me today! 😀👍
Unfortunately
Helped me thanks
For me as well :p
All of his videos are great. BMWs will always be modified even the old ones
I've never worked on any car before, and this took me a whole 25 minutes! Thanks for the great instruction man!
Watched the video, got the grille, got the tools, since I needed them anyhow. Grille shipped in a timely manner. Installed in 15 minutes. Outstanding value for the product. Looks awesome!
Thank you for making this video. It took me less than 10 minutes to swap out the grille on. 2023 M340i after watching this video.
I thought it was very difficult, but after I watched the video I ordered the grill. Can't wait to install the grill, thanks for the tips.
Am i the only one who hoped for you to show both :D?
I was hoping he would've at least posted a picture of them
Agreed

Always wondered how these newer active grilles worked, excellent tutorial.
But this/these are not the active grills though.
@@sirslickrock the active grill is right behind it, this is basically a grill cover
Easiest youtube video to follow, just made my M340i look even meaner with a carbon one
Excellent video. I think even a guy with two left hands like me should be able to get this done...
Thank you for this, followed the instructions and took less than 15 mins!
Thank you so much Bryan. Your video is so detailed and proper that it helped me to get the job done easily.
Great stuff. Mine should be showing up soon, hopefully it goes as smoothly as you made it look!
Great video guide. Made the process simple.
Thanks for the vid!! Appreciate your help Kies!
Thanks for the video bro. This helped me right now. Just installed on my 330i
Just put on my shadowline grille tonight,. Everything is easy except putting the new grille back on.
i love the new kidney grills on the 3 series. you guys should make some that look like the new one for the f30
Love the videos! Brian can you please do a similar video on the M2 competition? Thank you.
This worked perfectly. Thank you!
Very useful video. Thanks
One thing to look out for is to insert that camera all the way in. Otherwise the 360 parking surrounding view will be way off. Happened to me last weekend. Had to take it off to redo. Actually broke 2 plastic
Can you clearly tell from the outside that the camera is not all the way in?
Hello, nice video. I want to ask if you can make a video for the g20 bmw how to install the LED GRILL with iconic glow on this car.
Great video. Can you do a video on how to do an active grill delete. I hate the active grill flaps on my m340i and would love to know a clean Kies way to remove them.
Man the G20 grills are nasty
I can't lie, you guys totally need some m235i content 😏
Let me borrow your car!
@@KiesMotorsports I am not opposed!
Can you please make a video on removing the silver cooling shroud, have an idea but video would help, thanks!!
Hello Kies Motorsports & comment section, I have a G30 and I love your videos. Will your G20 DIY videos also apply to a G30 such as oil change and side mirror replacement? Thank you & please keep it up.
you save my day. thanks bro
Very helpful. Thank you!
My next car thanks for the vid!
Could you make a installation video for the rear diffuser and front splitter please.
Great video dude.
By any chance, can you do one for swapping the interior trim for the center console and front dash.
That would be awesome.
Couldn’t have done this without the video was a little tricky starting mine from the bottom I have no camera in my model any suggestions for the hole
Hi. Is this Grille from BMW? Is it the exact same part if you got the Shadowline Grille?
Great video! Would this process be the same for the F40 m135i?
Awesome thank you!
Hi, this was very useful, thank you. My next project is to change the window trim from chrome to shadow line, can you post a video on this for a G20 330i?
great! Thank for that tutorial!
Hey. Where did you buy the grill from? I don't see it on the website you had listed.
Hi Bryan, I am gonna get my 2021 5 series next week and will immediately replace that stock kidney grille by a glossy black one. Can you pls. show us how to change on the G30 LCI?
holy this is so helpful
did u have video for how to remove the cover to show the brace bar?
Well i will go do that today as my new grill have arrived
would be my first mod if i ever got this car
Great video Kies Motorsports! I wanted to ask if you know how to disassemble the actual grille itself. It appears the backside of the grille can be removed, leaving just the frame.

Nice vid. Could you please do the same for the f40 118i? I cant't find any solution how to releas the grill
Nice vid!
Bryan. Thanks for the video. Do you have a recommendation for the G20 engine strut brace?
Just purchased the 330i m sport 2021 what air intake you think will give me that great turbo suction noise
MST sounds incredible on my 2019 330i
just darn great! -__- BMW decided to make this just as hard (if not harder) than the F30!. good tutorial nonetheless though
Can you do a video for the 2021 m235i gran coupe?
Is it much different in the G20 LCI (post facelift?)
No, it should be the same 👍
My push pins are stuck I remove the middle part as much as I can and try to pull but can’t get it out. Any suggestions?
Hello, I would like to know if you have a movie, how to change the series 4 440i g26 kidney grille? thank you
hi, i know someone who had original 'chrome' mesh grill for g20. they then purchased a black one. next, he took the trim of the black grill and configured it onto the 'chrome' mesh grill, replacing the 'chrome' trim. the final result was the black trim on the chrome mesh grill, it looked very good. can you explain how to do this please !?!?
Nice, I'm definitely doing this soon
Where can I get that license plate bracket for the G20?
Is there a video for the whole bumper replacement?
Kies-can a front lip and a diffuser be put on a standard body 2020 330i??
so far I havent seen m340i without that new weird grill type. is it not possible to just get the standard grill for the m340i just as the 330 or 320 has?
Is there any black honeycomb grill without the camera?
For some reason I cannot budge the top clips that hold the grill in place. Tried to push down on the clips while pulling out the grill and nothing moves.
What tow hook plate mount are you using?
Im looking to swap out my grill on my f40, would it be pretty much the same method. The grills are almost identical just a bit larger on the f40
Hi Bryan, how to install Grilles on BMW F44?
Where did you get the tow hook license plate?
How did you put the license plate to the side? I have mine in the centre
My g20 grille does not have the camera. Can the camera frame located the lower ceter portion of the replacement grille can be easily detached? or is it part of the whole grille that can not be removed to fit G20 grille without the camera??
I wonder if its the same on the series 2 gran coupe
Does this affect the air strutters in any way?
So how can the cool wind inside when everything is closed?
Thank you!
Hi e what's the say for the BMW Series 1?f40 116i
can you make the video for G22?
Do videos for front splitter and diffuser for g20!
Hey will the same method apply for the new 8 series?
Hey bimmer team does anyone have a link to buy this black grill from ?
Which is the reference number of the original M340i grill?
Can you separate the outline of the grille from the diamond mesh pattern? Would love to have the cerium gray mesh pattern with black outline.
You can
Does this method work for the 2022 G20s as well?
Does this come with the camera plug?
Hey Bryan, thanks for the video. Could you film a guide for us with how to keep the grill slats open? They are almost closed all the time, so it substantially affects the IAT. Moreover, my M340i looks silly with the slats closed, it does not suit such a performance car. Thank you in advance!
Does anyone know how or if its same as this to change the grill on bmw 2 series gran coupe f44?
Slatted grilles for the win. That honeycomb design is hideous. Looks like it belongs on a Toyota Corolla
I did this but i keep getting a hood open message, anyone got any idea what happened?
The hood is closed
Hello, does anyone know how to always keep the grill open?
Will the G20 330i grill fit the G20 M340i?
same question here, anyone is sure to answer?

@@Mikek712Yeah, if anything it probably reduces efficiency by a bit
Grazie!
Would this work with 320I g20
So the g20 grill doesn’t let air flow in anymore?
It does. It opens up when the engine is on and hot and needs air.
Only when needed. Those flaps that are visible once he removes the grill open when necessary.
For some reason this plastic headlight covers doesn't exist in european version, really want to know why?????????????????????????????????????
do more g20 mods!
does it mean the the M340 style Front Kidney Grille will fit to my G20 320i as well? anyone sure?
thanks!
alot more aggressive indeed
Question! .. my f30 335 doesn't idle high on cold starts. It goes straight to normal idle, anyone know why that could be.😕
Is it tuned? You can remove cold start up in a tune in case you remove the cats
What if the grille is an active grille ?..
Have the same question
