AutoTecknic Carbon Fiber Front Kidney Grille Pair – BMW E63 6 Series (2004-2010) / E64 6 Series (2005-2010) / E63 M6 (2006-2010) / E64 M6 (2007-2010)

Description:

The E63 and E64 have aged well, with one exception: the kidney grilles. Years of sun and road grit leave the factory plastic chalky, faded, and loose in the surround. It's the first thing anyone sees when they walk up to the car, and it makes an otherwise clean 6 Series look tired.

These AutoTecknic carbon fiber kidney grilles replace both factory grilles with a genuine carbon fiber skin over an OEM-spec ABS core. You get real 1x1 plain weave carbon up front, with the same clip-in fit as the parts you're taking off.

Real Carbon Fiber Kidney Grilles, Not a Wrap

The carbon on these grilles is a real woven carbon fiber layer. It's not vinyl, not a printed film, and not hydrodip. Underneath is a molded ABS core made from 100% non-recycled raw plastic. That's on purpose. ABS gives the clips and tabs the strength and flex they need to lock into the grille surround, so the grilles sit tight and stay put.

Every outer ring and slat is finished individually, so you get clean, even paint and clear coat quality across the whole grille.

Installation Notes

The grilles swap out from the front with basic hand tools. There's no cutting or drilling, and you don't need to take the bumper off. The new grille goes in as one piece, with nothing to disassemble first.

1. Lift the foam and rubber weather strip along the top of the front bumper and loosen the screws underneath.
2. Gently pull the middle section of the bumper forward, just enough to reach behind the grilles.
3. Reach in and release the clips on the back of the factory grille, top and bottom.
4. Once the clips are released, ease the factory grille out from the front.
5. Clean the opening, then push the new grille in from the front as a whole until the clips seat.
6. Repeat on the other side, then tighten the bumper screws and refit the weather strip.
