Things I pulled out of my grill thread
It's hilarious to me that BMW doesn't care to fix this issue, but I've had some seriously weird items get through my grill and stuck behind.
In my latest clean up I pulled out the following:
From my F80 the weirdest things were:

I use that same grabber! Love it. It also comes in handy to retrieve a fumbled nut or bolt from a tight spot.
It's only a matter of time before someone like Zunsport makes a mesh insert to protect the rad fins. I've seen some good DIY ones. If your tracking, it's a must have. |

Haven't had to pull anything out of the grill but have had rocks wedged tight between the bumper and the headlight and between the cf lower vents and the bumper.

Too much stuff flies out of the back of pickups around here. It's terrible. I've had to dodge cones, lampshades, mattresses, ladders, etc. So many rocks off my windshield. And a huge metal object that I couldn't see in the dark totaled my Tesla. I live in TW and used to work in Energy Corridor and had jobs all over town so got to see my fair share of every highway around here. |

If you are worried about the radiator taking a hit install a sheet of Nomex honeycomb.
Spray it black with high temp outdoor grill paint. Make a template & cut with a shop knife to fit.
