2019 M5 order - how to add black side gills from VPC?
Talked to my CA regarding my 2019 M5 order...he told me that VPC will only add the front grills in black, but there is no option for the black side gills. He sent me a screen print of his computer showing the options/accessories that can be added and it does only list the front grills in black. I recall on the 2018 models the window sticker showing front and side grills in black as an accessory option...so did BMW remove the side gills in black for 2019? Or did they simply simplify the accessory name and if I add the front grills in black, will it automatically include the side gills in black as well.
I've seen some non-comp 2019 M5's with both front and side grills in black...albeit on the web...so I haven't been able to see what the window sticker says. Anyone with a non-comp 2019 that has come across this issue? I wonder if BMW Genius would be able to answer the question? Anyone know?

I have a 19 M5 on order, and my dealer told me they’ll add the black front and side grills at the port. This is the first I’ve heard your story...

Do you have a copy of the build from your CA? Would be interested in seeing how the option is listed on the build sheet from BMW.

Just checked the build sheet, and none of the accessories are mentioned on it. Asked my CA and he said we'll get it added at port.

CA confirmed with BMW NA...the accessory option for "Black Kidney Grilles" will include both front and side black grills...it's a $530 accessory cost and they are added at VPC once it hits port in the states.

Just a tip but you can take your chrome pieces to any bodyshop and have them painted gloss black for $75. Takes 1 day if you won't want to order them as a $530 option.
