As an aside has anyone tried the mesh grills they sell for the front, I kinda like the idea but hoping for some real world experience |

Lol...no. I did a couple of things. Changed my summer to All season wheels, added the CSL yellow DRL's and since the car was on the jack stands anyways, put the mesh too. Have the front lip and air carbon air ducts to install but Ill wait till spring to do it. Its already 40 degrees here and cold...lol

I've not seen them installed on a G8X other than on their website. They're not my cuppa in either application. But they work. |

I thought the same too but the mesh is pretty thick (not like the gutter guard ones) and should hold. The only weak point is the tabs that are attached to the mesh that holds the screw. Dont know how they would hold. The Mishimoto is certainly very sturdy and doubles as a skid plate too in addition to the oil cooler protection. If you are driving in an area with a lot of debris or around construction, I would go with the Mishimoto. If u just want some protection to the oil cooler in the off chance something hits it, then the Zunsport is a cheap but sturdy option.

I have the front set on my 23 M2. They work well and are quite easy to install. Hi from Germany! I have the oil cooler screen to fit next. With so many critical cooling rads on any M-Car now one needs to protect them!

I ordered the Zunsport from Amazon. Had a $60 coupon. Looks like it has shipped from Great Britain.
My son works on BMW’s everyday and told me the Mishimoto quality has gone down recently and advised I go with the Zunsport. I’m fairly confident it will fit the G82. Might just have the dealer install since I don’t have a jack or jack stands anymore. Before anyone asks why I don’t have my son do it, he lives 600 miles away now😂 |

Yup. It said 5 left when I ordered and this AM it said no longer available. I suspect it will be back but likely not with Prime free shipping. Guessing that was a mistake. At least for US folks.

Think I’ll just buy a cheap jack and 2 jackstands. The dealer will likely give me shit.

Forgive my ignorance since my G83 doesn't delivery until March. But don't you need special jack and jack stand adapters so it doesn't damage the jack points on our cars? Maybe someone can weigh in on that.

I think there are lifting pucks needed. I only think that because it looks like aftermarket sellers have them listed.

I threw my advisor $50 and the tech $50 and they did it for me. Cheaper than buying new jacks, stands and the pucks.

This set seems pretty cheap. Cheaper than giving 100 to the dealer.
