I believe it's has an M Sport pack plus with shadow line trim everywhere instead of the chrome trim, except for the front grille, which stands proud and prominently in chrome.

I'm thinking about swapping it out for the black or darker grille. Am I right in thinking there is a full on black version and also a Shadow Chrome one too?

Have any of you carried out this swap at all?

I'll upload some photos of my car shortly. It's in Carbon Black, which I really love, especially as I have an E39 M5 in the same colour too.

Thanks

As far as Im aware at BMW UK you'll find these grilles only in Gloss Black if you want you keep it OEM and within M Performance specs. NO point going for aftermarket bits. OEM or nothing!
My 740 in Singapore Grey is shadow line too all blacked out but without Monaco Blue Calipers. Think I saw your M5 52 reg??
