Black chrome tips...

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Just bought these chrome tips from another user - standard on the competition package, I believe. Another step towards ridding my car of all its chrome.

Nice looking tips. By the way, I was at my local dealer and saw a 13' with so called "black chrome edition package", basically the front grills, side grills, door handles, exhaust tips are all in black chrome which looks pretty good but the price for those accessories ($4995, yes not a typo) isn't anywhere near reasonable.

No issues at all. Just a firm little twist back and forth and they slide off - push and turn gently to install - they fit snugly.

Thanks! For the difference paid between chrome and gloss black finish for the grills and handles...iND all the way. Just happened across these on the seller board and couldn't resist. $5k???? yikes!!!!

Forgot to mention that the oem 343 wheels are also painted in glossy black, but still $5k for all that is sort of legalized robbery to me.

They make them with love & care. One piece at a time.

Yes I have it. I just didn't want to see my car for the first time with chrome all over it.

I agree though, overpriced. Like any BMW Individual Equip. as all of it is produced in limited quantities which translates into verrry high acquisition price.
