Question Titanium Tailgate Handle or Not?

I got the BMW OEM Titanium tailgate handle to add a little color to the rear of the vehicle (easy install) ... and also to match the brushed aluminum R/B's and Titanium colored front grill/hood vents. Now I'm not so sure if the X looked better with the black handle. What do you guys think?

It looks nice, but IMO, I like the stock look.

For a black X I'd go with the black handle...But looks good either way.

On my white X5, I put a chrome tailgate handle on. It matches the other chrome around it. In your case, the titanium is different from the chrome on the rear, so it looks a bit out of place.
