I personaly don't like it at all....
sort of like "Wallmart" tuning class

I see you have the 3.0 so I suppose you have the black grill. I would go for the titanium BMW OEM grill.... it look great IMHO

I swapped out the black grill for the titanium grill. Just keeping my eye out on different options.

agree the black grille should be swapped out on most 3.0s, unless the truck is blacked out (like my 3.0), and thus black grille is the only way to go!

Actually I kinda like the black grill on my Sapphire Black. As far as the cheese grater goes, it may look ok for the lower intakes and may even keep out debri, but should leave the top portion for the Bentley wannabes
