This part is listed by BMW as BMW part number 51112233870 (51-11-2-233-870) and is described as Spoiler Slat Type Grill for the front bumper of the E36 M3 with Luxury Package.
BMW offered what's known as the "luxury" package on the E36 M3 for the years 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999. One of the differences in the luxury package was the front / center grill opening on the M3 front bumper used a "slat" style grill, instead of the more typical mesh, found on non-luxury package E36 M3 models.
If you are replacing an existing M3 lux package OR want this look on your non-lux package M3, this Genuine BMW replacement luxury slat-style front grill is the ideal solution.
Comes in primer gray, ready for professional paint to match your E36 M3 bumper.
This can be used on non-M model BMWs, but ONLY on those cars with the E36 M3 "M Tech" front bumper. This includes the Clubsport model 318ti and 1994 "MTech" 325is.
Not for cars without the M3 / MTech front bumper. For full BMW fitment information or for assistance from one of our BMW experts, we recommend calling us at 877-639-9648.
