Dry Carbon Fiber Front Grille Surround Frame Trim for 2021–2022 BMW M5 F90 LCI (Base & Competition)
The BMW M5 F90 LCI (Life Cycle Impulse Facelift, 2021–2023) introduced a significantly redesigned front end compared to the Pre-LCI F90 M5 (2018–2020), featuring a larger, more upright kidney grille opening with revised surround frame geometry — one of the most visually distinctive changes in the LCI update. The F90 M5 LCI's kidney grille surround frame is a high-visibility element at the centre of the M5's front fascia, forming the outer border of both kidney grille apertures and sitting directly against the LCI's revised lower front bumper opening. This Dry Carbon (autoclave Prepreg) front grille surround frame is an add-on overlay trim engineered for the F90 M5 LCI's specific kidney grille surround geometry, adding a carbon surface layer to the factory surround frame. Tape-on, 2 kg, no drilling. Fits F90 M5 Base and M5 Competition LCI.
- Fits: BMW F90 M5 Sedan — LCI (Facelift) — Base and Competition — 2021 and 2022 model years
- Does NOT fit: BMW F90 M5 Pre-LCI (2018–2020) — different, smaller kidney grille surround geometry. NOT compatible

F90 M5 LCI vs Pre-LCI — Why the Grille Surround Geometry Changed
The F90 M5 LCI's kidney grille surround is measurably larger and more upright than the Pre-LCI surround — part of BMW's LCI design update that brought the F90 M5's front end closer to the G80 M3's more assertive kidney proportion. The LCI surround frame sits higher and wider within the front bumper opening, creating a different mounting geometry that makes Pre-LCI and LCI surround trims incompatible. If your F90 M5 was produced from 2021 onward, this trim is the correct specification.
Dry Carbon (Autoclave Prepreg) — Grille Surround Specification
This grille surround trim is manufactured in Dry Carbon (autoclave-cured Prepreg) — the same specification as BMW M Performance's F90 M5 LCI carbon exterior accessories. Autoclave Prepreg achieves a higher fiber volume fraction than standard wet-lay carbon (Prepreg: 60–70%+ vs wet-lay: 50–60%), producing a lighter, stiffer part with lower void content and a more consistent surface finish — important for a precision add-on trim conforming closely to the F90 M5 LCI grille surround geometry. BMW M Performance's F90 M5 LCI accessories include Dry Carbon kidney grille surround elements at this position — factory validation of Dry Carbon as the correct material specification here.
M5 Base vs M5 Competition LCI — Both Confirmed
The F90 M5 Base (600 hp, S63 biturbo) and M5 Competition (625 hp, M xDrive) share the same LCI kidney grille surround frame geometry. This trim fits both variants in LCI specification — 2021 and 2022 model years.

Ordered the BMW front bumper fog light grille and the fitment was absolutely perfect. Gloss black finish looks factory-fresh and the quality is outstanding. Installation took about 30 minutes — no drilling required. Highly recommend AlchemyRide!

Fast shipping, great packaging, and the part arrived in perfect condition. The grille fits my F23 like a glove — exactly as described. Customer service was also super responsive when I had a fitment question. Will definitely order again.
