Installing M240i & M235i USDM Lower Grille Inserts
Вставка

- It's the little things that make the difference. Ever since the first time I saw a US Delivered M235i, I thought the front end looked much cleaner without the blades in the grilles.
It turns out you can buy the genuine part relatively cheaply on eBay, so I decided to have a crack at it!
Genuine part numbers:
51118056797 + 51118056798

Looks great! Thanks for the plug!
You're welcome mate. Your videos have given me a lot more confidence trying things with my BMW. I used to be terrified to touch it!
Never realized they were different for cars outside the U.S. Just got my m235i this past weekend and absolutely love it. Just changed the grill to the black m performance kidney grills yesterday!
Totally agree the US Spec grilles look much better. I ordered a set for my AUS delivered M240i. The grey fin just makes the front look too busy
Thanks !!! I had to remove a bezel on a 330 GT and your technique worked beer and all. You got to get a little mad at it and pry and pull !
I am getting ready to install the M Performance front splitter on my F22 and this was a very helpful video mate. Thanks!
Found this channel browsing Fanatec wheels. Of course I have the same car!
I actually like the ones with the blade more, anybody know the part number?
Ever find it ?
Just DM Will, he probably got set of these loose in garage :)
Looks good, Will!
Thanks David. It's a much cleaner look in my opinion :)
Hello, nice vids mate! are the old parts "the fins" you had painted easy to remove? Grtz
Hi, where did you get your plastic trim tool guard? i have the trim tools but not that guard you placed in first. Thanks
Can't believe that there are no front Fog lamps 😮😮 Thought it was a legal requirement but obviously not. Is this BMW penny pinching on the build price ?
What front lip is that installed. Love the simplistic design. All the ones I’ve been finding for my M235i are are too much and this is exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Genuine M Performance with painted end plates.
Boosted Media ahh! The black end plates on the M Performance lip is exactly what I don’t like them. Great idea to colour match them.
Your car looks great and looking forward to following the channel!
This was the hardest thing to get off when I put the front splitter on my car...drove me nuts haha.
I've got a load of of M235 videos on my channel if you get a chance to check them out 👊🏾👊🏾
Nice. I’ll have a look!
Any idea how to do the front center lower grill for the 2016 750i?
These 2 dislikes definitely came from people that scratched their paint xD
Can the other side have another intercooler?
It’s an oil cooler. Not an intercooler. No reason you couldn’t add a second cooler if you wanted to.
I have an 220i and the fog lights - so does it work the same way?
yes!
Hi does anyone know were I can find the clasp trim for the lower grill for a m sport front bumper just like on this video, thanks
Forgive me if I'm wrong but I thought you sold/are selling your MX5 because of financial issues but you have an M235i? Just has me confused, no offence intended. Nice video regardless.
spodz spodz I sold the MX5 because I couldn’t justify spending $6000+ on turbocharging it after receiving a large tax bill, and had completed everything else I wanted to do with it. The MX5 was purchased purely as a project car to make content for the channel, but the videos didn’t do as well as I had hoped so it was better to sell it to fund other projects.
I bought the M235i after selling my BRZ in 2016. I’ve considered selling it but it’s depreciated so much in the last year I’ve owned it that it would be like pouring money down the toilet. Plus I still need a daily driver.
Fair enough, was just curious. Will be sad to see no more MX5 videos
Still got the wrapping videos to come plus a few more things.
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FRONT LIP!
It’s a genuine M Performance lip with the sides painted.
HI! Does anyone know if this is possible on a 2016 1 Series M Sport
Hey, any idea where I can get the blades to put ON my car in the US?
We can exchange lower grilles
It's really interesting/confusing to me that BMW only gave the USDM cars the secondary oil coolers. Wonder why that is.
It’s to do with the difference in climate. But you’d think we’d have it here in Australia!
You might think....but the weather in most of Europe is identical to the US. Spain is similar to California, Germany is very similar to New York. Not much difference between them.
Yeah. Doesn’t seem to make sense does it.
will they also fit a F20/F21 lci M135i or a M140i?
1 series is a completely different shape.
Where did you buy the lower grill parts
Ebay
I'm pretty sure that's an auxiliary radiator not oil cooler 🤔
I have an 2016 m235i and it has an oil cooler on the passenger side and a auxiliary cooler on the driver side I have m pakage I guess
Every American will want the Euro grills. Hahahaha! All the Europeans will want the simpler cleaner looks.
I agree although it’s much cleaner look. I need to get the M Sport all black grills for mine. Getting sick of the chrome. The chrome doesn’t look bad in grey on edges. The 435 grill is absolutely hideous. Not sure what BMW was smoking with that. Huge chrome notch right into the headlight ugly as hell.
Certain colors definitely impact the car. And the grill you have on it. That’s something to consider too. Gray dosent look half bad with chrome.
Kristopher Sullivan lol yeah, being American, was looking for how some had that splitter in the lower grilles, thought it definitely looked better
The silver splitters make the car look meaner imo, the all black easily gets lost, especially since its recessed a bit so it’s dark in that area
What sort of Front lip do you have on this
Genuine M Performance with painted sides.
Shoulda traded with me (US) I'd rather have the blades haha
You can have mine!
They look better with the fins
Well shit! XD
Hey mate: when I use these part numbers they keep saying only for M2 but I have the same as you and they look the same? Any info? Thanks
Sounds like they’re mistaken. They definitely don’t fit the M2. Double check the images on google for the part numbers you’re ordering to make sure.
Boosted Media thanks mate I’m pretty sure you’re right, thanks for this video. Appreciate it and the reply 👍🏼 happy new yr from the UK
I have the same issue?
TCKZ Combat Crew really easy to purchase from main dealer only about £30 each 👍🏼 Goodge the part number
jmlt12 thanks for the reply bud, googled the part no, comes up with M2 inserts? In UK we only get the fogs or the standard as he had unfortunately from dealers
Hi thats grille are so cool were can i buy it ?
They’re available on eBay. Not sure where this one came from specifically though as it was once he car when I bought it.
Thanks for this. Can’t feel my fingers but saved at least 200 bucks 👍🏻🫡🙏
