A few weeks on and everytme i catch a glimpse of the front i realise how much they change the image of the car and make it seem that much more aggresive. Very happy with this slight mod!

Some have painted the just the surrounds and left the vertical slats matte, some have painted the the whole grill. Check out member KnIgHtCoM's grills with paint matched grills in these gorgeous photos he took...BADA$$!!

Why on earth would anyone want to downgrade their BMW? The low-end 5-series like 520d and 520i all come with the black grill. Six cylinder engines all have chrome grills.

As a comparison, owners of the 1-series with 4 cylinder engines and black grills sometimes "upgrade" to chrome grills
