I'll paint it silver just like X5 grill to see how it goes. If it does not look good, I'll buy the chrome one. I cannot stand the current grill on Alpine White - it always inspires me to drive GTO when I look at those grills. J/K.

LOL, when you said "it always inspires me to drive GTO when I look at those grills. J/K."
You know, I just saw the e60 M5 which looks very good, all but those: Side front fender vents, and if I bought one they would have got to go! They reminds me of my fender non functional air vents when I was a teen on my 1978 Pontiac "Trans AM"!!"
LOLI wish Chris Bangle and BMW would not copy those Pontiac (USA) designs so much,

? your silver means titanium silver or chrome? if chrome, might as well get them from your dealer. i'm sure the chrome will look much better on your white. i like them a lot on my silver gray

Ice,
That guy parked on the wrong side of the street.
That's dangerous.
The grill looks nice, but the paint will dull and come off over the time due to high-speed wind and dust, I guess.

Not a chrome fan myself and I like the grill on the car you showed Iceman. I just read teh TIS Cd on how to take it out there way and it seems like a pain in the ass to take it out. Gonna try it after the meet.
