Fog light trim - tried something different - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Tried something different with the fog light trim, I'm not sure I really like it but wanted some opinions. I thought it would tie in with the angel eyes and the AA CAI silver intakes. how does it look?

I think if you lost the round ducts in the grille it might flow better- looks too busy as is. just my .02

To reduce the 'size' of my CAI inlets, I painted the insides flat black. Only the thin outer edge is left bright aluminum. This might help you get The Look that you are after.

Good Luck, but enjoy The Beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont like it....

I agree, it makes it look too busy, detracts a little from the CAI. Nice idea though, let us know what you decide on.

I agree.

i agree with the guys above me. it takes away from the CAI.

what if the grille were the same colour as the fog light trim? maybe someone could photoshop it for you.

IMHO, i think you're better off without it.

good luck with your decision!

remember, at the end of the day, its YOUR car.

some in the E46 M3 community do this..im not a big fan of it unless you have something other than black and you color tie it together.

This is not my taste.

I painted them in high gloss piano black (and same paint for kidney grill).
But I do not have the silver cold air intake too.
