The Boomerangs, Mirror caps, 21" 718 Wheels... even the badges are Cerium

Wife and I both decided we like the grey kidneys especially since the mirror caps etc are matching. Really appreciate you guys posting pics of the replacement (and happy that its on the blue, which is the same color we are getting). We saw the pics above and both decided that, at least on the blue, we like the "stock" grey ones that come on the M40 rather than me needing to have them replaced.

Agreed. I like the look of the black ones on the blue, and other colors too....but the Cerium accents do look best on Phytonic Blue and Black Sapphire. |
Yeah I'm not sure about them now, having second thoughts! They seem to look bigger than the Cerium ones! |
Agree! I think it looks nice but I won't do it on my own blue M40i. It does feel bigger vs Cerium grey, and draws too much attention vs the car as a whole.
I think the black grill will look awesome on White and silver X3 though...
