M Performance Gloss Black Side Gills Vs IND Painted Side Marker Set

dtronics · 04-20-2015, 01:40 PM

Someone posted in another section saying “i ordered 2 pairs, one from BMW one from IND. the ones from bmw tend to peel off, so I ordered the IND ones which are the original ones that come with the car but painted gloss black”.

I’ve been planning to order the M Performance Gloss Black Side Gills until I read this. Have a lot of people been having issues with the M Performance Gloss Black Side Gills peeling? Are the M Performance Gills painted or are they stickers? Any info would be helpful so I can make a decision.

Mine are fine. We'll see after 3yrs.

When you say peel off, is that individual referring to the logo? The logo partition is a gel coated sticker.

My IND set of gloss black have started to peel (logo strip) on both ends. Just a little bit but it is noticeable. Every time I enter the car I simply press both ends in and they are good for a few mins.

I don't know what the person was referring to. I asked but didn't receive a reply. The original thread was posted in the wrong subforum: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1114752

I am wondering if BMW is encountering issues with the black side grills. I got this response from getbmwparts.com regarding availability:

"Hi Jawwad, thanks for your interest – at this time, BMW has discontinued sale of the gloss black side gills for the M4. We do not have an ETA at this time available for when they will be orderable.

Thanks again,"

I ended up ordering from IND

When did you receive that response? They were on backorder for awhile but my dealer told me that they're available again.

vstM3 · 04-20-2015, 06:06 PM

Mine are too detached a little from one of the edges...ordered from IND. Stock ones seem to be perfect though, i will try getting them painted somewhere, or get them plasti dip

mshab356 · 04-21-2015, 06:49 AM

Well this is a shame to read about. It is sad when the OE manufacturer can't make parts that don't peel

330cibimmer · 04-21-2015, 08:27 PM

Can somebody post a pic of how this peeling off looks like?
I'm considering ordering a pair but this issue might change my mind.
Thanks

Wah · 04-21-2015, 11:15 PM

I have OEM ones and the M4 sticker on it has always been a little peeled off. I'll try to get a pic tomorrow.

Got the same issue here in the UK:

Wah · 04-22-2015, 12:39 PM

Yep, same here...

dtronics · 04-22-2015, 12:44 PM

That sucks about the peeling. I've had other cars in the past that had issues with badges peeling. It was always something that the dealer replaced for me free of charge. I would ask your dealer about this next time that you're in for a service.

330cibimmer · 04-22-2015, 02:16 PM

Thanks for the photos guys. Not sure if I want to buy these now..

330cibimmer · 04-23-2015, 04:13 PM

Has anyone bought these from bmwpartspro? Was asking Mario about this and he claims he hasn't encountered this problem with the ones they sell...

Wah · 04-23-2015, 04:35 PM

I figured I could hit it with a little krazy glue. It never really bothered me, so I never got around to doing it. I'd be more concerned about scratching something if I replace them.

RJVIII · 04-23-2015, 04:38 PM

I have the OEM ones and everything seems fine

MKParris · 04-25-2015, 04:54 PM

I just ordered and received a message that these have been recalled

Hopefully they have a fix for then because a black front grill doesn't really match chrome side gills.

LIYMBM3 · 04-26-2015, 10:12 PM

Ordered mine from IND and noticed them peeling slightly today
