BMW has done some subtle grille updates on LCI M cars lately. Even the CSL is getting a reworked grille. Who is to say BMW might not tweak the cross bar slats on the LCI for the standard M3.

Besides, this is what vorsteiner's entire philosophy is, whether it's a G80 or a Huracan. I love the fact vorsteiner has come out with their own interpretation for how to make the car look different. They aren't telling you the G80 is ugly or how to fix it, they are saying here is a piece we think looks good, and buy it if you like. Just because they made a lip for the E9x or F8x didn't mean the bumper was ugly either.

I think this is great. I would love to see a CSL style version of it and have a mix of exposed carbon with gloss black.

Perhaps - though while the CS has a modified grill, this option has none at all.

I tend to look at these things with a bit of skepticism - on their own the car looks good. But then you go hang out with M friends and we all mod them the same way, kind of negates the point. But if someone gets this grill I certainly don't mind looking at it. Just not for my car.

I really like the grille. Probably not enough to spend the money on changing it out but it’s a nice aggressive option for those looking for a change.

looks really good but seems like a disaster waiting to happen, i.e. a medium sized rock might screw up your radiator

Stared at it for a bit and IMO it looks less awful with this kit. Well done, Vorsteiner.

Like the wheels! Saw a super concave fitment of the ff103, but these look much nicer than those and are full forged instead of flow form forged. (Though I do wish they were as concave as the ff103).

Are the wheels as "gold" tinted in person, or more pure dark silver? They call it liquor d smoke, but these seem to have a distinct gold/yellow undertone.

And are the 20 rears as concave as the 21's that are shown?

Ordered the carbon grille and the front lip

I think it adds a serious amount of aggression and I'm all for it. Well done Vorsteiner!

This looks very nice. First set of aftermarket items I've seen that doesn't turn me off. Since I already have >$15K of OEM carbon fiber on mine, I can't consider this. But it's certainly a good option for buyers yet to place an order on a G8X.

Not a fan of the grille. It's just too open for me. If they had a single bar across the bottom section like they do on the top half, I think it would look way better. Just looks odd to me to have two gaping holes in the bottom half.
