Need opinion - M Performance Grille on Luxury line - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

Aritaurus · 12-25-2012, 04:31 PM

I was a bit skeptical on getting the M Performance grille on my Luxury line since it wouldn't go well with all the chrome accents on the bumper and with the stock silver wheels.

My F30 now has a new set of 17" black star spoke rims for winter and it does look a bit sportier with these rims on. Do you think I can sport the black M performance grille like this? I'm also considering getting the colour matched painted reflectors too since one of mine are damaged from someone hitting me in the parking lot some time ago.

Hell yeah, that would look sweet with the black wheels.

Yes, it looks so much nicer.

Why not try the Sport Line OEM grille? It is still wrapped in chrome, but with wider gap in between, lesser slant(?) might work! And you can get them cheaply from the Sport trim guys, or even buying from the dealer will cost slightly lesser $$$ than the M-performance one, when they are actually identical minus the chrome trim
