Each to their own but I think they look crap, don’t even think they look great on the G29 but on the newer car it works better. The tradition grill is the hallmark of a BMW, what makes it instantly recognisable as one, yet these grills takes all of that away. Makes the car look like a cheap Chinese knock off. Entirely my humble opinion mind. :wink:
are you a train spotter by any chance?
actually, don’t answer that … I don’t think I can stand the excitement :fuelfire:
What's the issue? I am just expressing my opinion. This is why you've put up so many photos no?

Why the personal attack?

The poster didn’t make any personal criticism of you.

If you put your mods up for review then you must accept that not all folks will be glowing in their critique..

Very disappointing…I’d hoped for better from you .. :thumbsdown:
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

I’m not sure all black works for me with that body colour..

For me chrome and black works best ..IMHO :thumbsup:

I think I'd agree, but there are so many things to consider, especially the car colour.
On mine (VO) I find the chrome outer picks up well from the LCI side indicators and also the highlights around the headlights. (Gratuitous photo added on the pretence of illustrating my point :roll: )
But if, for example, you took a lighter-coloured car and changed the side indicators to black, then possibly an all black grille would look good.

To be fair it is really hard to tell from here. :D
I am taking a guess at NO! :lol:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Man you are something else, you go around posting million pics of your car and you expect everyone to like what you've done and take exception to those that have a different view? Says a lot about your character.

Surely you don't think that everyone will say yeah great what a fantastic mod you have done or do you only want those with the same view as you to post? Don't get me wrong I am all for mods but not all mods look great and it is a very personal thing, what one likes another won't.

I actually don’t care about criticism
When you remark on things as you did , it’s not just a point of view… it’s a dig , now I’ve come back at you, you don’t like it … we can all have a dig now can’t we ,
As for posting pictures, surely that’s part of the forum …perhaps you are too ashamed of your car to do the same ??? This was all meant as tongue in cheek … it’s YOU that bit , probably hurts nerve … bit touchy mate ,
If me calling you boring is ( personal abuse ) tut !!
Keep coming, I can keep this up all day .
It took me a while to figure what gives with the double act ? You and B21 ?? Then it twigged…. SILVESTER …. B21 with he’s big yellow thing ( that I actually like) by the way… that must make him TWEEDYPIE
i ttwort I thaw a puddy cat a creeping up on me
C,mon mate …. You know the words 😂
