Which one?

The one on the left is factory. I did a down n dirty retouch to the one on the right. Painted the frame of the grill n put some eyelids on in the same color --carbon black-- kinda inspired by a design I saw. Thought I'd do a quick poll for fun!

Love the all black look.
Same as my build

i prefer the left but I have never been a blacked out look fan, also don't care for black painted rims. I like when the grill matches the mirrors and the bezels at the fog lights. however the dropey eyed black over the upper lights don't make me mad. it just looks like its had a couple drinks.

I don’t have my car yet but I’ve already ordered reflective cats eyes for the rear view mirrors and a magnetic “my cat is smarter than the president”. Might have to take that off the car when I park it publicly. It will for sure get jacked ...

I also got a sun shield that is supposed to fit the X5 and I’m adding fun cat stickers to that too. I’ll post picks ...

So the grill is not all black, just the frame. the slats are still nickel.
