From Ben at RG Sports. Chrome just wasn't working for me.

I like that they're colour coded, but why not go with the M Performance version which retains the X5M badge?

Obviously there's a cost difference, but i'm wondering if there is another reason for going with this option.

onfireX5 · 03-16-2016, 09:08 PM

Just doing something different with the Carbon Black color. All of the factory X5M badges have been removed. Only badge is a lone black "M" on the center of the grill bar.

zero4 · 03-17-2016, 02:23 PM

Nice. I like it. I am thinking of getting the black part paint matched and have the chrome part painted matte silver without the badge. Don't know how it will look but oh well. I will find out.

Poleposition · 03-17-2016, 03:02 PM

Looks good. Why the chrome kidneys though?

onfireX5 · 03-17-2016, 04:03 PM

Too lazy to change them out LOL. The all black would look killer.

tastelid · 03-17-2016, 10:59 PM

I'll be ordering these now that I know they are badgeless and look good!

What color are you planning to go?
I stock the non-indented gloss black, but matched body color has to be custom made.

tastelid · 03-18-2016, 02:04 PM

Hmmm not sure. I don't mind the chrome so much, but it would be nice to get rid of the badge.

What looks good on DG?

I would go with Gloss Black for the Contrast.

I feel like that's going to require doing the full blackout + carbon diffuser...

With the DG, I would do either Gloss Black or CF.
I do have CF in stock with indentation. I also have solution for the badge, go check out my website.

Troy172416 · 03-18-2016, 09:52 PM

I love the gloss black!

elisiX · 03-19-2016, 05:04 AM

Funnily enough, my dealer made a mistake with my M Performance parts order. Only the side vents arrived so I'm also running chrome front grill with dark sides.

The gloss black really stands out on the Carbon black so I can understand some wanting to go with the original paint color. I only wish yours came with emblems.

tastelid · 03-19-2016, 09:42 AM

I think you can get them with badges if you prefer!
