i've noticed on darker cars, the all black grille on BMWs creates sort of like an appearance of a big hole! on Audi grilles, there is an emblem in the middle of the grille, so it still looks like a grile....but on BMWs, the emblem is outside the grille so its a different dynamic
I am so happy with it! Every time I look at the nose of my car I just stare and think "Damn that is so badass"
I was on the fence also because chrome looks good on our colour, but the all black is so much better and really flows well. Chrome contrasts it too much.
My parent's crimson red 128i cabriolet has the chrome and that looks much better than all black for that colour in my opinion.
