Cool

I have both titanium and black grills in my collection of X5 items - Sometimes I switch them out. Depends on my mood

Titanium all the way!!! Black makes it look meaner but also cheaper IMO. Titanium is much classier!

All Titanium front looks classy...all black front looks agressive, imo. I vote for the all black front.

I painted my grills on my M3 to match the paint(Topaz Blue). Can see it in my sig.

I like the titanium silver, but the black certainly looks good too--depending on how the rest of your x5 is put together (color-wise)

Hey bzoeller, do you have a crush on Elf? Or ARE you Elf? That's a spooky sig if you ain't him!

From a designers' pov, the estoril blue looks better next to titanium. it matches your headlamps, hood vents and even the mesh grill on the bumper. If you have black on the hood, it somewhat sticks out too much. All the other black you have are on the bumper and wheels which are on the lower part of the X.

Black gets my vote. It gives the X that aggressive, skunkworks kinda look.......the ti gives the X that boulevard cruiser kinda look.......
