I voted No. I think if you car is black, you shouldn't get it. For any other color, go for it. I think for black cars, there's no contrast. The chrome kidney grill is unique to BMW and by getting it black it loses that. Looking at the car, it just looks like two headlights.

+1
exactly the conclusion I came to. WITHOUT the chrome grill on the black E60, it looks like a ricer if its super-blacked out.
