Yes!!!!

Excellent News!

I’m getting a 2024 i7 edrive50 with Msport pro with blacked out grille and there is illumination. Very excited about that.

Chrome illuminated grilles to black illuminated grilles

For some reason the black grilles didn’t post. Here they are.

Would it work on 760

What I would be interested in is adding the lights to a 760ix M style. I assume BMW did not wire those cars for lights so there is no plug n play to do it but still I’d like to know.

The best part of the shadowline black/illuminated grill is you can turn it OFF (in iDrive)...

I do!

The Shadowline Trim option (ZMQ) provides an Illuminated Black Grill. Black by Day, Illuminated by Night. (...and you can turn it off in iDrive if not "pimping around")

Just say No to Chrome! ;-)

Eh, I’m pro chrome on a car like this.

This is a baby Rolls Royce as far as I’m concerned, not a sports car. Chrome suits it better for me.

This is true now but was not true for '23s.

[evanevery]

Tell me about it...

I had to wait for ZMQ to open up before we submitted the order.

I really wanted a "Big Black Car". Something you might see on the road and just move over - not so much a "pass the Grey Poupon" kinda ride... ;-)

In for full body PPF and Window Tinting now...

I have a slightly used i7 M70 illuminated grille in chrome available if anyone is interested. M70 grille has M badge on it.

I have an i760 where does it plug in ?

There’s a plug at the front of the bumper that would connect to it. If you don’t have illuminated grilles already then I can’t say for sure if you can just install this and find the dummy plug waiting behind the bumper.

There is a setting to turn it on and off in the lighting menu that I guess you might need to code too

That is true. May only be best for owners that already have illuminated grille

I just picked up my 2024 black sapphire m sport
And the grille has the outer glow. I didn’t even know it had it till I came home late night…looks ok It doesnt bother me either way.
