Sorry for the naive question but I have to ask as I'm awaiting delivery of my 06 530 sport. What is the difference between the two grills? Which one should I expect?

My dealer threw them in at no charge.!
(Not standard here on 530i)

They stand out much better & look great, espcially on Carbon Black.

unless you pay more as an accessory , meaning, for sum bux you can order it and get them changed! worth every $ spent.

Thought that I may go for all black like some here did but the chrome -(as it will be the only chrome on mine, Shadowline high gloss)- will stand out of my black color.
