Really concerned about the complete lack of any radiator grill protection, also seems to lack any protection grill on the front side coolers too.

In my country this will get peppered and damaged within the first year, for sure!

Is this how all retail units will get delivered? If yes, we need to find some aftermarket protection at the time of delivery itself!

There's a black plastic protector piece which was not fitted to this car. Production models will have one.

Oh that's a relief, will there be a protector for the front side mounted radiators too?

Wonder why they didn't fit for these cars...

ETK should confirm.

Not that it matters, but the lower unit is on backorder. Hopefully production is unaffected by this.

Ghostrider.1127 · 04-03-2023, 10:07 AM

Here it´s available .

I can check directly on BMW main , as Bikes and cars use the same system.

Great, thanks for sharing! Can you please share for the two side radiators as well?

They are or were unprotected when I last saw a G87 in person.

Oh, is that the same case on the M3/M4 as well?

Wonder if there is an aftermarket solution for these...

Not sure if the G87 side coolers will come with the plastic grill like on m3/4 x3/4
