Intended Use and Fitment for BMW E90 / E91 LCI
The BMW E90 E91 LCI Kidney Grille Right is designed as a factory front-end component for the facelifted (LCI) versions. The construction is prepared for installation in place of the original grille, without the need for modifications to mounting points or bodywork.
As a part from the Grilles and Radiator Grilles group, the kidney grille is responsible for proper airflow to the engine compartment and maintaining the characteristic BMW front-end styling. The geometry of the slats and surround is consistent with the factory design, allowing for a uniform appearance of the entire front of the car.
Chrome Color and Finish
The part is finished in Chrome, which accentuates the lines of the hood and headlights, while also complementing other BMW exterior details. The chrome surface provides:
- visual consistency with the original left grille,
- an aesthetic highlight of the characteristic “kidneys,”
- a modern, elegant look for the front end.
Choosing the right color is crucial when replacing a single side – this ensures the right kidney grille does not stand out from other elements and does not disrupt the vehicle’s body lines.
Mounting and Functional Characteristics
The kidney grille is prepared for installation on the right side of the vehicle, in accordance with the factory BMW mounting system. The appropriate clips and surround shape allow for stable mounting of the grille in the hood and bumper opening, without play or stress.
As an OEM part from the Grilles and Radiator Grilles category, the grille works with factory air ducts and engine compartment covers, which helps maintain proper cooling and aerodynamics of the car’s front end.
Used Condition and Advantages of OEM Parts
The offered kidney grille is a used part, allowing for an economical replacement of a damaged grille while maintaining original BMW specifications. Used OEM parts often provide a better fit than aftermarket replacements, as they are manufactured using the same technology and materials as factory-installed components.
If you are considering whether to choose a new aftermarket part or a used original part, it may be helpful to compare costs and durability – a detailed discussion can be found in the article New or Used?
