Perfect fit (98 318ti active)

I've bought 1 other set of kidneys in the past that didn't fit at all and it's a noticeable difference in the slight price difference. High-quality plastic and very nice workmanship.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • So so

Perfect for my 98 328i

Grille looked good, fitted perfectly and snapped into place easily. The only bad thing is that it took more than a month for the item to be delivered from China. I'm going to order another one to keep as a backup.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • I'll write back

Amazing value for money

The color scheme is really beautiful. Good fit for 1998 BMW 328i. I initially had a little trouble installing one of these, but it turned out to be caused by a pre-existing dent in the car which resulted in one of the metal grommets having to be adjusted.

Pros
  • beautiful item
Cons
  • volume

Perfect fit for my 1997 Bmw E36

I didn't have to do much to install the grilles, I removed the plastic cover over the radiator to access the back of the grilles during installation. Customize the front as a one-off, and the back can be customized with metal nipples that hold the grille in place. I would buy again.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Guard

This item did not fit my car.

. which was deemed appropriate. They gave me an 80% refund of my purchase price and I'm keeping the bars which are good. If you are interested in a set of grilles for your 3 Series and it is not a 1999 M3 Convertible I have a bargain set. In fact I have 2 sets once I have already performed this dance. uh

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Other Other

worthy for the price

I didn't have high expectations for $31. I took the M colored ones because they come the fastest. I separated the trims from the trim ring and painted the trims semi-gloss black to hide the M trims. Kidneys never installed before. I don't think they're perfect compared to OEMs, but once installed you can't tell from 5ft away they aren't OEMs. I had to apply quite a bit of pressure to get them to snap and move a bit, but they're pretty snug and sit flush. Received them quickly.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Fits well and looks nice on top

Like most E36 aftermarket kidney grilles, they don't fit as an OEM. The set I received I was able to secure and stay in place. The top and sides stayed level after a slight trimming of the burr with a Stanley knife. The bottom doesn't sit flush. There is a gap of about 0.125" - 0.25" between the grille and the grille frame. It's also difficult to get them to stay in one place because they're too small for the hole. So if you slide them down, a slit will open, allowing you to see through the…

Pros
  • Fits great for me
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
