The gloss will match (exactly) the shadowline trim (if you have it) on the car, assuming you buy the BMW Performance grills. To me, that makes them a better choice, but to each their own, of course...

Hi Oman,

Just responded to your PM but I prefer the matte for some contrast.

I chose the matte too and don't regret it. Yes, it isn't glossy like the shadowline trim but I think it looks great.

Here's a shot of mine:

It's all what YOU like best. Personally, I think the gloss matches better with the rest of the car (shadowline trim.)

[MikeinAlexandria]

Do you have shadow line trim or the matte silver? I would agree with matching what you have.

I like the matte black because it matches the plastic parts on the front of your car. like license plate holder and intercooler grille

The Matte has the look of "All business". I think I'll get them.

I had the same dilemma, but went with the matte. Funny though, just ordered a rear badge replacement, in black gloss! LOL (they have matte option to me it looked faded and didn't match the rest of the exterior).
