The chrome around the grille is black so is the BMW roundel emblem. They complement each other really well! Very sexy.

Had it wrapped same flat black as the plastic grills above and below it. Dramatic change in my opinion.

Noticed that right away.

Nice touch! Simple, creative and dramatic change indeed.

I like it!

Very talented kid wrapped it. Parking sensors are no issue. They're wrapped and cut very carefully. Work fine. Looks factory.

I like this. I wonder how it would look on a F15 MSport with the middle bumper blacked out too.

I think that wrapping/blacking out the horizontal bar in the air scoop looks fantastic! Very tempted. Very well done!

Honestly, it does look good but it also reminds me of the Lexus fronts
The X5 front for both the M and F15 are too busy with so many things going on.

When the Lexus first came out with this new design all the BMW fans poked fun at the design to be ugly and reminding them of the predator's face

Looks Awesome!!! I was going to plastidip mine but this looks perfect. Can you let me know the exact wrap used?

I would love to do make some body colored thick decals to cover the fogs as well. Anyone else interested in something like this?

Very creative!!

However for my personal taste, I think it's perfect the way it is out of the box.

Poleposition, I love what you've done to front air dam. I going to get it done to my DG X5M within the next two weeks. Not sure if my guy is charging to too much or too little. Could you please PM me with the price you paid.

Thinking wrap the roof on mine, in carbon fiber, might be a good fit for a M car

Nice work here, OP.

On the roof, gloss black is good. Carbon is not easy to work with (trust me on this), 3M 1080 gloss black is much easier. Plus, I think any fake carbon on an M car makes it look cheap.

If you look closely, you can see that my roof is wrapped in gloss black.

Anybody digging this? If it's not obvious, I blacked out the fogs in photoshop.
