Has anyone thought about painting their kidney grills?
Thinking about painting the grill to tone down the brightwork, which I think may be distracting to the beautiful lines of this car, with with a black or color
matched paint. Had this done on my 545i and was happy with the results but this car has a different character maybe the brightwork is a better fit. Can some tell me if the grill is a chromed plastic injection molding ? |

That's not the new 7 series though. The front looks a bit different.

I like the chrome. if you black out the kidneys, then you should probably do the chrome strip in the lower airdam, back trunk lid, and maybe the side chrome turn signals, and oh. maybe the door handles.....

Saw a X5 today at shopping mall. It had the kidney grills blacked out, tinted windows (WAY past the legal limit), 22" black rims (with black lip) and even the X5 badge in the back was painted black. Come to think of it, they even removed the BMW logo from the hood and trunk... It just looked to plain uhmm... black It looked really boring

LOL, yeah I've seen this a few times too. I think the worst I've seen to date was a stock 318is (and quite rusty to boot) that the owner de-badged and put a cheap ///M3 sticker in it's place ... I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that car on the road

And thanks, I can't wait either. If I didn't already have plans for the weekend, I would go down to the dealership to take a look at my car
