My Ride: 2008 Silverstone II E60 M5 2012 E70 AW X5 50i Sport w/ LCI Aero Kit and Rocker Panels
Default

The color of my car is Silverstone II.

I've been doing little carbon fiber accents, here and there. I've also gone with the silver, grey, white, black and graphite look for the car as well. I've pretty much removed the blue and red stripes, but would be willing to leave the CF badge, if that's the one that wins. I like how dark it is, against the Silverstone.

The ShadowChrome badge is also cool, in that the lettering is a dark color. It's similar to that of the Shadowline Trim for our cars. It's not bright, like the standard badge or chrome trim on the non-sport models.

Anyway, here are two pictures that I took of both. Please decide. I need to rebadge my car ASAP! Hahahaha!

First 1, CF-trim M5 badge. It goes well with all your other CF details.

Voted. Dark shadow chrome looks better, IMO.

Im sorry but I have to say nothing beats the original

Debadging it would be like slapping the engineers that made that monster in the face.

Dont do it!
