Yepp, the look very nice. And for less than half the price... I couldn't come up with the difference until I laid a pic of your car and a pic of someone else's car next to each other .. Or is it just the angle?

Have just bought a new all chrome grill to replace the painted blacked one I thought my e60 looked a bit dark with it so I'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like but not the fitting
If you wanna go completely chromed you should change also the water sprinkler on the bonnet. I did on my E60 and the look was great even with titan silver car so just imagine it on a dark colour. It looks like the 6 model.

Yes, it is, at least in Italy but I guess all around Europe because if you look at the 6er catalogue you can see that all of them have chrome sprinklers but the M6 that does not have any chrome frame at all.
