My Ride: 09 M5 (E60) Interlagos blue, Silverstone interior, with cold weather package. Adaptive Xenon headlamps and adaptive brake lights, hud, comfort access. Comfort seats, basically fully loaded.
04 530i (e60) Sapphire Black
Hey there bros plus pros... I just joined this forum... pretty kool stuff you guys got going on with your rides. I recently purchased the headlight and tail light chrome trims from bavauto. Some of my pals think its cheap and some think that they look good. Any Ideas whether i should leave them on, or should i take em off? (Chrome trims that border around the lights)...
your help is appreciated. Since i just purchased the car, i'll be putting up pics soon.

I wouldn't defile my E60 with that kind of trim but it's your ride so you should do whatever you think looks best.

Dude, to each his own but fair warning: the overwhelming majority of members here hate chrome trim. If you want to see what I'm talking about, see the "ENVY" thread which you can find using the search function.

Well, you asked for input, so I'll tell you that you will receive no love for those trim pieces on this forum. Do what you like, but it's pretty much universally disliked on here anyway.

Definitely wouldn't do it on my car. But if you like it that's what matters. Some around here come down hard with their opinions so be ready if you go that route.
