YES, of course. But WHY equip the M Sport models with chrome from the FACTORY? Makes no sense when the chrome window trim is deleted in favor of the Shadowline trim (which stains BADLY and is forever a maintenance/upkeep item - but that's for a different convo at a different time. I shouldn't have to spray paint my exhaust tips when they are the only thing chrome on the vehicle besides the grill. The M Sport also removes any titanium components as well. Then, what also doesn't make sense is that they ADD a chrome vent accent on the side of the X5M but there is no other chrome on the vehicle. Very odd.

I'm guessing BMW wants people that want the black grills to pay the extra $$ for it.. maybe additional ways to make more profit.
Also some people prefer chrome.. Me personally I think chrome is tacky too and wondered why they would put it on a X5M side vent as well. But it doesn't bother me because I am able to make the modifications.

Anything is better than some of the stock choices that BMW makes sometimes. I like the black on white better than white on white. But, I do not like the chrome trim on many of the vehicles nor do I like the off grey on F15.
