Show-Quality Carbon for My ’95 M3 Track Build
I’m building a 1995 BMW E36 M3 for track days and wanted something that gave it a modern edge without straying too far from its roots. Scopione’s carbon fiber kidney grille set was the perfect exterior upgrade. These are not flimsy overlays—they’re full replacement grilles with real carbon weave and clear coat. Fitment was exact, and they even look better than some OEM parts I’ve used. Adds aggression to the front end and gives a performance aesthetic that sets it apart.

OEM-Level Precision with Custom Carbon Finish – Wasn’t sure what to expect with aftermarket carbon fiber parts, but Scopione completely surprised me. Their E36 kidney grille set is clearly built with enthusiasts in mind. My 1992 E36 coupe now looks sharp and aggressive from the front. Everything about the finish, fitment, and design feels purpose-built for performance styling.

Best Front-End Styling Mod for E36 Enthusiasts – I’ve tried matte black and chrome grilles on my E36 M3 over the years, but this Scopione carbon fiber grille set blows them all away. The aggressive look, perfect fitment, and real carbon construction make it feel like an M Performance part. It adds both customization and performance edge in one clean upgrade.

Race-Inspired Look with Street-Ready Fitment – Scopione nailed the design of these BMW E36 Pre-LCI carbon fiber grilles. They give my 1994 318i a motorsport-style appearance without sacrificing fit or function. No trimming, no drilling—just pop out the old ones and install. Lightweight construction and improved airflow were bonuses I didn’t expect.

Subtle Elegance for My Restored 1994 325is
As someone restoring a clean 1994 BMW E36 325is to near-OEM condition, I was hesitant about carbon fiber at first. But this Scopione grille set maintains the classic lines while adding just the right amount of modern flair. The finish is flawless, the weave is consistent, and they installed using the original mounting points. If you’re looking for an upgrade that respects the E36’s design while enhancing its visual impact, this is it.

Subtle But Powerful Aesthetic Upgrade for E36 M3 – The stock kidney grilles on my 1996 BMW M3 were looking outdated. These Scopione carbon fiber grilles gave the car a sharper, more aggressive front end. It’s one of those small upgrades that makes a huge visual impact. The 2×2 twill weave and glossy clear coat look and feel premium. Highly recommend for Pre-LCI E36 builds.

Perfect Custom Grille for My Pre-Facelift E36 328i – I’ve owned a few E36s and know how tricky aftermarket parts can be. But this grille set from Scopione exceeded expectations. The carbon fiber replacement grilles snapped into place just like OEM and completely enhanced the front bumper’s appearance. Great for anyone restoring or customizing a 1992–1996 E36 3 Series.

Carbon Fiber Upgrade Worth Every Penny
I’ve had my 1993 E36 coupe for years and have tried a few grille sets from generic brands. They either didn’t fit well or started fading quickly. I finally gave Scopione a try, and I’m seriously impressed. These carbon fiber grilles are clearly built for enthusiasts—they look like they belong on a high-end build. The high-gloss finish hasn’t dulled, even after months in the sun. Great product, great fit, and noticeable upgrade in quality and aesthetics.

Gives My E36 the Aggressive M Look It Deserves
I drive a 1996 BMW 328i and always felt like the front end lacked something. This Scopione carbon fiber kidney grille set completely changed the look. It now has a much more aggressive and refined appearance, like something out of an M Performance catalog. Install was super easy—took under 10 minutes. The build quality is excellent, and it feels like a part that could’ve come stock on a special edition. Highly recommend for any E36 owner looking to modernize the front end with a performance styling upgrade.

Instant Front-End Transformation for My E36 M3 – I installed the Scopione carbon fiber kidney grille set on my 1995 BMW M3 Pre-LCI, and the difference is night and day. The aggressive carbon look modernizes the front without taking away from the E36’s classic style. Fitment was exact—no gaps, no adjustment needed. This is a must-have for any E36 front-end upgrade.

Lightweight Carbon with OEM Fitment – Highly Impressed – Scopione really delivered with this E36 carbon fiber front grille. I replaced my faded OEM kidney grilles on my ’93 325is, and the Scopione set fit perfectly. The carbon weave is tight and consistent, and the gloss finish adds that M-style performance touch. Lightweight, stylish, and definitely turns heads.
