Hey Gang!

Have seen these around and was wondering if anyone has them and what you think:


I keep going back and forth on weather to keep my OEM chrome grill or maybe beef up to this one but I cant seem to find any
pictures of it on anyone's car - (maybe that's a sign )

comments?

Thanks!

i say 90% of the members here dislike the chrome look, but if it's something that you like, then go for it.

Personally it's not my taste. I'd rather do the matte black even everyone has them... just looks sleeker.

yeah, i think if you did the chrome grills you should definitely do the whole 9 with the matching chrome wheels and chrome window trim.

If you like the Chrome look, stick with stock. I prefer the grill color matched or matte black.

I have the chrome grills and prefer it to the black. Only top of the line BMW's have the all chrome grills like the M3 or 550 etc.

I may switch to all black after I install the Trinity M5/Mtech nose.

Its funny... when I had my 325i everyone upgraded to the M3 chrome grills. Then when I had my M3 everyone changed to the blacked out grills.

What ever floats your boat

Chrome gets no love on E60.net. But it's your car and you should do what you think looks best on the car.

I'm thinking I'll stick with my stock grill for now - the beefed up chrome is a bit much.
I think I would change to black if I ever do M5/M Tech mod to the front.

Cheers!
