Kidney grille options at new

My deep sea blue has the chrome/chrome grilles.
I might like to go all black or maybe chrome surround and black fins.
I don't want to put something on the car that wasn't available as a choice at the time though.
Anyone know what options if any there were?
 
My car has gloss black grills. They are a genuine BMW part (I have an invoice for them somewhere) but not too sure if they were an option from the factory.
 
The chrome / chrome I believe was standard fayre on the top specified Z4, the 30i and 30is I believe (it could have been just the is) to define them from us lesser owners. All other models had chrome / black. Some on here have replaced with black / black which can be easily sourced.

And if I’m wrong, I’ll be sure to be corrected v quickly!

I've read that the 35is had a (I think) Matt chrome grille to distinguish it.

there you go, I knew someone smarter would put things straight… that’s what I meant - I think - the 35iS not 30. Too many numbers! I just turn the key (or push the button) and ‘brmmmm’
 
I had black & silver on my 35i - really old fashioned look.
Swappped them out for these, get a LOT of positive comments on them...

Those g29 grilles look very nice - transformative to the look of the car.

It's annoying that I can't find the original (time of sale) grille options (assuming there were options) despite many googles.

I've found a few images via Google of the 35i variant with chrome/black and black/black but of course no idea if they were options from new.
 
I thought from the factory the only grilles were chrome/ black and chrome/gray. The all black version was just an extra you could purchase later.
 
M Sport high line came with black on black. I have it in the brochure. I’ll take a photo later

If it’s an M Sport highline it will have black/black from factory

Stop the press! Isn’t the Highline one spec and M Sport the other?

Why are they both called Highline? What’s Highline anyway? You’ve either got an M Sport pack or you haven’t right? If you haven’t, you’ve got a Highline. With a black/chrome grille by the looks of the brochure.

It’s all too much.
