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?

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](http://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:

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