What does everyone think of changing out the standard kidney grille for a black one ?
This one; http://www.beastpower.com/Merchant2/...E39-GRILLE-BLK
or this; http://www.beastpower.com/Merchant2/...Store_Code=BMI

I just painted mine with some satin black trim paint, turned out very nice IMHO and only cost a few dollars.

If you're looking for batmobile look, darkened grills would seem to fit the bill. Check out Ronin's M5-- that thing looks WICKED.

I bought this chrome shadow grille on Ebay. I'd thought about going with the black one, but on a dark car it almost looks like there is no grille at all. I just don't like bright chrome on my cars.

Oh, that looks awesome. There you go Dingo (sorry, forgot your real name.. please remind me!). If I recall, your wheels are a bit darker. Chromeshadow would probably be a winner with your car.

Very Nice. Also like the tri-color on the front dam. How did you get that?

Do an ebay search for "black chrome grill e39" and you should find it. It's the same one that I have.
