Thumbs up

I have the Mystic Metallic Blue with beige interior and black wood trim. I was thinking of changing all the emblems to the black and silver carbon fiber ones. Do you all thnk it will look better or should i leave the standard ones, due to my car being blue already. I love the look of the carbon fiber ones, any ideas.. thanks in advance

They look good, but I think it's a finishing touch that only you will enjoy. It will not add to your car. Again IMO

I wouldn't change them.
It's a BMW, and you're a proud BMW owner. This is the Logo, changing it, IMHO, is like disrespect for it.
Just see it as the US flag... You're not changing anything on the flag, don't you?

I think they'll look good on the car.

I've seen them on the exterior of a black e63.

Where are you getting these from?

I'd keep the original emblems, not only for the sake of originality but I think the blue ones look better. The black carbon ones look "fake".

I would keep the originals, again like I said in my last message only you would enjoy them and it will not make it look better nor would it make look less than a bimmer.

And don't forget that they represent the past/history, where BMW is coming from. I also like the looks of the blue and white (which BTW are also the Bavarian flag colours).
