Good grief I'm having trouble focusing here.......

absolutely terrible - hope you can take them off, as it will kill re-sell value.

:iagree: At least the silver hides it a bit.

my neighbour has done exactly the same mods to his 2005 X5 3.0D Sport, even down to same chrome reg plate surround. His X is Graphite Grey so the chrome isn't as bling as it would look on a dark car.

I think you did well in customizing it to your tastes.

Ive seen far worse and more money spent on ugly wheels, angel eyes and seat furnishings here. Just bear in mind that a majority of forum members are americans so you'll have to learn to expect what you see here. :P

What does that mean? I am European (and horrified by people sticking shiny plastic bits all over their car - especially when it was a nice car to begin with)

I'm actually not a big fan of the chrome. But the chrome you have actually doesnt look that bad. The fogs definitely not needed.

But, I'd still rather see a BMW without the chrome around the lights. I saw a 745 the other day with the chrome around front headlights and i cringed.
