BMW 3 Series G20 LCI | Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Kidney Grille

BMW 3 Series G20 LCI Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Kidney Grille

Engineered for BMW 3 Series G20 LCI (2023+ facelift) owners, this Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Fiber Kidney Grille redefines the front face of your sedan in true carbon character. Imported from leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this BMW G20 LCI carbon kidney grille bolts directly to the LCI factory grille mounts and preserves OEM camera and sensor cutouts.

If you're building a BMW G20 LCI tuning project and want a part that transforms the whole front in a single move, this dry carbon twin-kidney grille is built for you. Autoclave-cured prepreg carbon is noticeably lighter than wet-lay parts, with outstanding long-term UV resistance. Compatible with every G20 LCI engine, from the 4-cylinder B48 in the 320i/330i to the 382 hp B58 inline-six in the M340i.

Key Features

• Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Technology: Pre-impregnated plies cured in an autoclave under high heat and pressure for a more consistent weave.
• Twin-Kidney Sedan Design: Carbon interpretation true to the G20 LCI twin-kidney form.
• OEM Camera/Sensor Compatible: Cutouts preserved for parking sensors, ACC radar and front camera.
• Lightweight: Noticeable weight savings vs. factory plastic grille.
• High Strength: Carbon fiber offers very high strength for its weight.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon pattern under a high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Direct OEM Fit: Plug & play on LCI factory grille mounting points.

Prepreg (Dry) Carbon vs. Wet Carbon: Which Is Better?

Most aftermarket carbon parts are made using wet lay-up, where resin is applied by hand and cured at room temperature, leaving air voids and inconsistent weight. Prepreg (dry) carbon:

• Cured in an autoclave under high heat and pressure → a more consistent weave
• A controlled resin ratio → lighter and stronger
• The production method widely chosen in motorsport
• Minimal UV fading over years of use

Installation Notes

Professional installation is recommended:

1. Open the hood and remove grille upper clips.
2. Carefully detach the OEM grille without damaging ACC or camera connectors.
3. Test-fit the carbon grille for alignment.
4. Secure with supplied clips and verify sensor cutouts line up.
5. Check alignment before closing the hood.

Care & Maintenance

Wash with pH-neutral car shampoo. Apply carbon-safe sealant every 6 months. Avoid pointing pressure washer nozzle directly at the grille.

Yes. The grille preserves OEM camera and sensor cutouts; ACC and lane assist work normally.

Compatible with 320i, 330i and M340i?

Is this the same as the BMW M3 G80?
No. M3 G80 uses an enlarged, vertically-slatted grille of different design.
