I don't mind them. BUT, they are pretty big. And tacky.

Hard to tell from the pics regarding the side vents. I first thought the vents for the e90 m3 were too big and was disappointed they were not identical to the e92 m3, but in person the e90 m3 side vents "fit" well. Hopefully the same can be said about the f10 m5 and it's side vents (minus the chrome trim)

The e60 side grill looked 100 times better imo.... this side grill just looks like one of those plastic stick on grills you can find at Pep Boys. I'm sure as stated above with some paint they will look ok. The chrome is just horrible.

You guys are stuck on the chrome I'm looking at the design as a whole, it flows with the body lines just like on your E63 the e60 one really just looks placed there I hate it, oh yea the e60 one had chrome too

found this from another forum..quick ps of the side vent de-chromed

I think gloss black to match the window/door trim would be better...
