My Ride: 2006 Titanium Silver 550i, with all the bells and whistles!!
Nice! Amazing how such a simple and inexpensive mod can change the look of the car. Especially on a dark car. I did this on my dark blue e46 and liked it a lot but am thinking my e60 is too light for a black grill.

Go for it. I hate front plates. I will never put mine on even though Ohio state law requires me to have on. I would rather pay the ticket.
BTW, the new grill looks sick. That's gonna be my next mod.
