Has anyone by chance seen the part number for the LCI grill?

No, but I’d imagine you’d need to provide more information to enable anyone to help. For example, there are different part numbers for the pre-LCI grille depending on:

• Power unit
• M SPORT PACKAGE PRO
• Active guard plus
• Driving assistant professional
• Active cruise control+stop&go function
• Parking assistance system Plus
• Individual option high-gloss Shadow-Line

 

Sorry, didn't think of that.

From the order sheet the car has

• BMW Individual Shadow Line
• Driving Assistant Professional
• Parking Assistant Plus

 

Mine is with same equipment and I am also wondering can the grille be swapped out. It definitely looks better then pre-LCI version.

 

On mine the front radar is a different shape, and I have DAPP. Much more angular at the sides.

 

Fingers crossed they have the same tabs, I've seen videos on 4 series GC grill swaps and it can be done without taking the bumper off.

The new grill I think ties the styling together much better, the dimpled rectangles and silver ones underneath didn't link to anything else on the car. It needed a bit of beefing up.

My front radar is like the one in the top picture.

 

Hmm... Strange things are happening with my post. I'm not happy that posts have been removed and it is being manipulated for the benefit of the advertisement of an aftermarket grill.

Too new, check back after the car is released to the wild for new parts catalogue to be updated.

 

Hello,
I went to my dealer to update my i4 50 (07/2024.35), I took the opportunity to ask for the reference of the new grille. Here is the photo of the configurator.

 

Thank you so much

 

I wonder what the (!) in the Info column means? "Not available to order/low stock" ?? haha.

 

There is no Info-note in my ETK.

Here is part numbers for cars with both Driving Assistant Professional and ACC.

 

It could be a option specific warning, like the radar.

 

Looks like stock is slowing trickling out, as it (51 13 5 A79 D59) is showing up on a couple of US websites.

Unfortunately, they don't have pictures of the part, which makes it hard to be sure and also know it's got the cut out for the radar (that's going to need a new cover as the old one as the silver diamonds on it).

 

FWIW, I tried ordering an LCI front grille from the local dealership. While they could find the part number, they weren't able to confirm if it was for an i4 (their system said it's for an X5).

 

It's still too new...looking at all the US parts websites shows minimal info about it; not giving me much confidence in ordering right now. Did they quote you a price of something like $190USD?

 

I was quoted ~$450 CDN (taxes in). I didn't have enough confidence either. Went the aftermarket route instead.

 

Schmiedmann.fi gives price 207€ and delivery time 11 work days. But does not say exactly if it the grille.
51 13 5 A79 D59 was the code I used

 

Hey folks, anyone been brave enough to buy the new grill?

 

Nothing over here yet this side of the pond...how about there, is it showing up in parts catalogs yet?

I cannot confirm just by looking at the various websites, otherwise I would have done it.

I've not tried the local BMW dealer. Online it's showing on some US and Euro sites, but no images. I am wondering if they just integrated the radar cover into the grill to simplify things.

The Euro site lists it at €195 and I would take a punt on it at that price, but since we lost the culture war in 2016 and the site won't ship to the UK 😢

 

Honestly, the aftermarket ones on AE are a really good (and reasonably priced) alternative.

 

I ordered the new grille, arrived yesterday. Thanks @Saltkjelen for the part numbers so I was able to order the correct one. This is 51 13 5 A79 D59 because I have DAP and PAP. I'm probably not gonna install it myself and might take a couple weeks to get it done professionally but I'll post as soon as I get it installed. While the AE grille looks great I personally wanted to go the official BMW route instead.

 

Based on the pic the m badge is included?

 

Fantastic, and it's good to see a proper picture of it.

What are plans for the radar cover, wrap it or get a new cover?

 

@Mozart Awesome, how much did you pay and was it from a US dealer or other country, please share if you're comfortable.

 

What's the part number for the matching (new) radar cover?

 

P/N new radar cover for cars with Driving Assistant Professional. The cover is a part of the radar if the car is equipped with ACC.

 

I ordered from bmwautoparts.net based in Lithuania. They deliver to EU and cost for the part is around 195€ but you get some discounts depending on total order cost.

Honestly I didn't do enough research to know I also need a new radar cover, but I want to keep sensor stuff OEM so I also ordered the new cover (which costs more than the grille at around 240€). Thanks again @Saltkjelen.

 

I see, well it makes sense that you would need a new radar cover as the previous version is textured/pattern. Please take a picture and share with us if possible! Thank you!

@Saltkjelen - Thanks for sharing the part number! It appears that the radome [radar cover] also fits the M440 as well -- that's what's showing up in my searches.

So, in order to retrofit, one needs both the LCI grill and matching radome:

1. 51135A79D59 Grill for DAPP and PAP
2. 66319500096 Radome for DAPP

Also appears that in the US, these parts are around $575 total USD at the time of this posting.

 

Hey there,
is it possible to put the grill above on a i4 e35?
I got my i4 e35 a couple of days ago with the Chrome surrounded grill. Iwas looking for wrapping it until i found the thread.
I like the grill and started wondering, if it fits on my car.
I hope you can help me out! Thanks!

 

Would really appreciate if someone could share the part number for an i4 with only 05AQ and 05DF.
This car would probably not need the extra cover?
