I just did the same exact thing on my 535i. Except my car is Black Sapphire. I'm assuming you got your grille from BMW Performance as well. It gives the car a much more sinister and sporty look with the shadowline trim.

Awesome!!! And welcome to the forum.....

Shadowline means no chrome trim around the windows, just black.

Welcome. Personally, I only think the black grills look good on light color cars (for contrast) or on full blackouts. Otherwise, the chrome accent looks very classy against dark finishes.

The grilles look good. My car is the same color and I didn't think it would look good. Guess I was wrong
