Is there anything we can say? do? to change your mind on the chrome bits?

Don't like it.

Have you shown the guys on www.x5drivers.co.uk your car.?

What the hell, while you're at it, don't forget to install the chrome-ringed roundels on your wheels. At least they're an OE BMW part (Hub cover with chrome ring p/n 36 13 6 783 536)

Personally I dont like too much chrome. But on ur's look pretty good. I guess the color helps a lot too.
