Hey Now. I'm Sebastian, brand new to the forum. I picked up my '08 535i on July 18th. So far I got the windows tinted at 30% and now did my first official mod. Ordered some glossy black grills from BMW and did the install this evening. It was simple however there are two tabs that were relatively difficult to get to and took a bit of force. I love the outcome. Sizing up the ride for my next move to continue the blue/black theme i've started... Cheers.

I have the xi version. Same color, year, etc. and this was my first mod as well.

I am digging the whole "black and blue" theme.

Do you have the "shadowline" trim? Looks great with a tint.

I think black wheels may be too much for me, particularly cruising through the carpool lane, but it would look oh so very sweet.
