CHROME ALL THE WAY
the entire face and definition of a BMW is represented in its chrome grill, once you paint it black, it will be just like any other car, with no unique aspect that makes it stand between all those other cars
i think moving to black isnt an upgrade, its more like a "downgrade"
sorry if i offended those who've just spent their dollars on black grills
