E36 Grill

I need the painted piece that goes across the entire front of the car under the headlights, and possibly the kidney grills as well. It’s for a '97 328i.

Anyone have anything laying around?

i have spare kidney’s you can have but thats about it.

you want what is called the nose panel… also be aware that 97 has different shaped grills than other years. (if you get a different year nose panel then you can use the other grills in them).

if I was you I would go to maxbimmer.com and PM euroguy… he runs a business of parting E36s in Cambridge ontario and his prices are great (even better if you pick up from him). he can get you any random parts you need.

I personally like the DDM black grills and they are cheap.

I think I might be able to salvage the kidney grills. I knew that the style changed, but forgot which years. So it’s just 97 and 98 that I can use?

I’ll contact that guy about the Nose panel, I used to work in Cambridge and my dad lives right near there. :tup:

“you want to buy a whaat?”

and aaron- if you change kidneys i believe you have to change hoods as well, no?

I don’t think so… the outside shape of the nose panel is the same.
