I bought mine from expressparts on ebay. Its actually black plastic painted gloss black. That way if you get rock chips it doesnt show silver underneath.

Thanks for finding that man! I've been looking for one on Ebay for awhile now and have never been able to find a black one for the E63. I just bought one of these and will let you know how it is once I get it installed.

There are two still available.

Interested to see how this turns out on a white 211 without black accents. I thought about doing this since I had it on my E60, but thought it wouldn't look as good since this grille is way bigger..sub'd

I guess it looks good since you have a CF lip, black roof and that black vent..not for me though. Everythings stock so I think I'll keep the stock grille. I think it'll flow better with the brushed face/chrome lip HRE's I have.
