I have a 2019 F36 painted in Mineral Grey Metallic and have chrome door window trim as well as chrome kidney grills and 440i badge. I would rather have all black. I am contemplating changing my kidney grills to carbon fiber and would consider changing the badge to black but the window trim is still chrome. I'd like to change these to all black but the cost is something to consider for a cosmetic preference. I know I should do this to make my car more my liking (as well as a change in rims as well) but life priorities take precedence. Sometimes it sucks to be responsible.

Went with the debased for a bit, didn’t like and switched to black badge. I think it depends what color you have but on white and black it looks really good!

Just keep it original, it looks classy, black badges look cheap and take away the expensive look of a BMW!

i dont get that logic, BMW is using black badges on all high-end models as OEM...

if you have chrome to match the chrome badges, then it works. if all your trim is black, if all your car accents are black, not only does it not look classy, it becomes a complete eye sore that doesn't match anything

If I keep the chrome trim I will not change. I may still change the kidney grills to carbon fiber, though. Thanks for the reply.
