BMW does that with all the "M-Sport" package cars already so don't worry.
I have CF "M Performance" decal on my side skirt, because I have "M Performance" package lol. At the end of the day...to each their own.

IMO black on black (murdered out) is a bit played out, however it still looks good on some cars. Maybe add some red? Like the calipers....

Oh and pics or non of this is true!

That's more honeycomb though. I'd go with something more meshi, like pic above. The openings are to big on the honeycomb.

Will definitely add pics! It's gonna be awhile though I'm waiting for my MPE in the mail and since it was so expensive I gotta wait a little bit for any more mods or the girlfriend is gonna bite my head off lol. I know what you mean though the black on black is played out but I like it a lot. I was also planning on getting the calipers painted another color, might even upgrade to the BBK but I'm still debating that one.

Like Hypermile, I have a 'M-Sport' packaged car. Mine originally came with the chrome-outlined grilles but I changed them for the M-Performance grille. Made for a much stealthier look IMO.

I looked into the M4 grille, but decided against it because 1. I prefer the singular slats over the M3/4 thinner double slats and 2. my car isn't an M4.

Each to their own - if you prefer the double slatted M3/4 grille, go for it. Both look great.

I think the all-black looks cool. Or maybe all-black with powder coated brake calipers in another color, like red or bright green.

Just ordered couldn't help myself. I'll post another update once it's arrived and installed.

I'm debating on eventually installing M performance brakes. I want to track my car once I pay it off.
