Genuine OEM blacked-out kidney grille upgrade on BMW i5

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
For many i5 owners, the journey of personalizing their cars has already begun and one such impactful upgrade available is the M Performance Shadow-Line kidney grille kit.

Designed and engineered by BMW, the grille seamlessly integrates with the i5's bold, futuristic design language.
The horizontal-split kidney grille design exudes a cutting-edge, contemporary vibe that perfectly complements the electric nature of the i5.

Beyond the kidney grille, the M Performance lineup for the BMW i5 encompasses a wide range of personalization options, including aerodynamic bodywork enhancements, unique alloy wheels, and interior trim pieces.

Is that center piece a cover for the radar? Do all G60 have radar?

Yes - you can make it out on all of the models.

No matter how hard I try to like the new grilles, I can't since they all look like an afterthought or broken grilles fixed with black ducttape.

I hate how little of the grille is actually for airflow. +1 it really does look like there are big patches of black duct-tape covering things up. Edit: No, its smooth. That is electrical tape

Cover is always there but only cars with the option actually have the radar behind it.

This seems to be what they are doing on all the models now.

The X7 LCI is the same way….it has the cover no matter what now (whereas you only got the cover in the pre LCI if you actually had the cruise control distance option on your car).

I’m almost wondering if they are going to start equipping all these cars with all available hardware so you can do subscription based services…..

Pretty sure it’s just cause it’s cheaper to not have to produce a radar version and non-radar version of each grille variant. The radar hardware itself is reasonably expensive, compared to a seat heating element or steering wheel heater.
