WTF Stolen Grills
Went to a friend's house in the city, parked in front of his house, upon leaving found out some fing jack@$$ stole my front grills! I wouldn't be too overly upset as they are easily replaced until I see that they broke one of them out and busted the bottom bumper plastic clips!
What the heck is wrong with people - I am moving to Germany where no one would dream of touching your car Anyone point me to some reasonable CF replacement grills?

you're right... that guy is a jack@$$.
to my knowledge, you'll have to replace the front cover if you want those clips/prongs back on your car.

Front cover as in the entire bumper. I had that issue as well, just use 3m double sided tape. Poor design on BMW's part if you ask me. Sorry to hear OP.

This sucks.
Some people need a good hard kick in the arse with a cold boot. Can your insurance company help you out, or will that just drive up your insurance costs?

I have a $200 deductible so not worth it for the insurance - but on the plus side I have been wanting to upgrade so I just bought the the CF's.
I guess it was a forced mod

Agreed, I'd be more worried about $150 grills being stolen. And the few CF grills I've seen on E46's always turn yellow/peel because the finish is so bad.

Looks more like vandalism than theft. I always thought it sucked you could just rip these out, as opposed to other models where you have to push the grills out from behind the bumper. I have a spare chrome set, they're yours free if you'd like, only a few dead bugs on them

I actually have to make a list of stuff I have that's extra for the car, like extra fully intact cup holders (I ripped them out 2nd week of ownership).
