Need some opinions please

[drbru]

So this is what my car currrently looks like...Basically a standard M5....


I saw this pic from a fellow owner a while back and Ive been debated with myself for ages whether I do this or not...Just wanted to get your opinions




So my plan would be to get the gloss black LCI grill, gills, gloss black rims and also a splitter of some sort...

Shall I just bite the bullet and do it??

No don't your car looks classy as it is

[Deepcat]

Really based on what image you want ..

Your one looks classy but still mean - however if your looking for people to notice you and lots of attention then go with the updates.

Personally I am purist and prefer the clean look

1 million % do it ! m5 looks so much meaner with no chrome and LCI grill makes huge difference!

Here's another opinion...

I don't like the blacked out grill on a dark car -- to me, the chrome highlights it. (On a light color like Alpine White, however, I do like the black grill.)

As far as black rims, to me it just looks like they're REALLY dirty. I haven't seen a car -- any car, any color -- that I thought looked better with black rims.

Again, one person's opinion...

Don't do the blacked out wheels. Then again, I've always hated that look.

Does also depend on the wheels Black with a chrome lip is good !

Okay, I'll concede that one -- at least sometimes. (Then again, I'm not a fan of three-piece wheels. Detailing around all those bolts has to be a total misery!)

the second pic is more aggressive, the first one is classier.
Really depends what you are aiming for.

IMO I agree not a fan of black rims especially on dark color.
However with respect to the side grills the chrome just looks out of place. IND gives many options. I would have them painted the exterior color. Leave the very inner part (mesh) black.

I had the same dilemma with my MCB. Started getting a little bored with the stock colors. Installed the iND cosmetic package and couldn't be happier! As for black rims, if you're gonna do it you should black out everything.
