I decided to go full shadow line on my X3M. Swapped the chrome fender vents for gloss black Chinese replicas (Fanauto) today. Overall quality is good except perhaps for the XM3 logo. They fit perfectly and it is not a difficult job. If anyone is interested, it is also very easy to open up the vents. There is a blanking piece that just unclips (see pics). I did not remove it from my vents as there does not appear to be any air entry points into the fenders and I don't know enough about aerodynamics to risk creating them.
