I have a slightly off the wall question. Do the kidney grills from any other model or series BMW fit a 2007 M6?
I love the car but the one thing that I dont like is the straight line on the bottom edge of the top of the kidney grill surround. To me it looks like it was a bad haircut day for the grill. Like mom took the scissors and a ruler to cut that edge.
I am trying to find a grill that would fit the M6 but one that has the curved bottom edge. If anyone knows of such a grill , please let me know!
Thank you .

The 6 series has its own kidney grilles, no other model will fit.

Yep, the 6-series has it's own size and application.

Another option is body color painted grille frames with mesh inside (instead of the stock slats).

I had a Race Mesh lower grill (below the bumper) on my 2005 645Ci which I liked a lot.

Ordering (scroll down to nearly the bottom - or search for "E63")
The mesh is available in a number of finishes.

I am going to go with gloss black outers and black slats. That should blend it in so the straight line is not as visible. Someone should make a grill that looks more like the normal ones. The new version of the car has the more traditional grill look. Wonder why they went to the straight edge.

The first iteration of the E90 3 series also had a chrome top with a horizontal edge. The changed this for the LCI update on the later E90/92/93, so it looks like BMW has already moved past this look.

Very true. I had forgotten that since i have the E92 and it has the more rounded grills(one piece).
As of tomorrowI will be the owner of a 2007 BMW M6, silverstone with black leather and 6mt. Then i have to wait for the car to get here from PA(that is going to stink)

The waiting is hard. My M6 took 12 weeks to get home to Hawaii after its European Delivery (only a week from Munich to Paris back in 2009), so I know the pain of waiting for an M6.

It will be worth the wait, enjoy your beast and welcome board!
