Ok, removed the silver license plate and replaced it with the carbon fiber one. Now it goes better with the black grilles. The picture quality gets better.

My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
I agree the front plate looks ugly, however, I for one don't like getting pulled over. Leave it as is the car looks great. Why deal with the hassle? If it comes to it you can get the retractable license plate frame (there's a Group Buy for it in the classifieds somewhere)
