Black BMW Kidneys.... Should I?

I'm tempted to get the black grills for mine, I have a 10% off voucher for the dealer I purchased my car from so will enquire when it goes in for a service next month.

You must of known that would set me off though.

Go back and read it after knowing the sort of s**t I got for buying, sorry renting a 320d.....

Well then you shouldn't have insulted me then! You started it with:

Oh so If I had an E92 335 it would work then?

Jesus christ. I wouldn't expect anything less from you.
My opinion on the black grill still stands. I know this because I fitted black grills to my black BMW and as soon as I saw my wife driving it, I thought ''That looks hard, pity it's only a diesel'' and removed them as soon as I got home.

I've got nothing against you at all, never have (tbh i've only just noticed you this last month or so) so please don't think i'm taking the piss. I will however come back at people who try to insult me for little or no reason.

It read like bait to me and I took it.

Im taking your opinion and I will not be fitting the grill.

It wasn't meant as an insult so if you took it that way I apologise.

Can we kiss and make up you moody little fcuker? x

You're a chopsy little prick aren't you.

But back on topic, yes, a black on black 335 would work. Because it has the power to match the looks. Unlike yours.

Yassss!!

Clitotoby - you really don't do yourself any favours do you?

It's YOUR car, do what makes YOUR dick click..

f**k it!!! Black the whole thing.
Limo tints
Black grilles
Black BMW badges
Black tint on your lights
Black wheels
and take the front number plate off.

Do all of this or none of it. (IMO)

You cant really. But if back to standard when handed back then who cares. I wont be making any major mods to it and in fact Im reluctant to remap it for warranty reasons, and for PCP reasons.

As its only cosmetic I'd go for it.
You've got the full M sport kit, its not as though you've gone the pauper spec (bar engine). If you fully believed the sheep in wolfs clothing theory you'd have rented a cheaper non M sport version?

Flawed thinking process. Do the grills, looks maze baws. I'm seriously considering a 335 and lets be honest, to the general public they're identical. Only yours purges black s**t when it gets excited!

Ha yeah. I wasnt really planning on getting a 3 series. I went to buy an Ed35 that day but it wasnt at the dealership. Popped into BMW because I like BMW's and just wanted to have a look round. Saw that for the same price and had my sensible hat on.

Ive had loads of comments on how nice it looks from people I dont even know and ive seen a fair few people shark at it on the way by.

Suits me really. Its great to cruise about in.

I did mine but I have an engine to back it up ;)

Alternatively, de-chrome the slats. I did it on my E46 as I had silver indicators and CSL's and the chrome of the outer worked with those accents.

I like black but chrome works well on your car. Black will cheapen it a little imo.

CS loves to discuss trivial bits of colour coding and which wheels to fit.

Try and have a decent in depth technical discussion and it will be out of steam in a couple of pages, but anything colour or styling related its easy to get into double figure numbers of pages.

Its like the laurence llewelyn bowen of car forums.

I like both, so I'd be screwed haha!

But I kind of echo what people have said, the black looks "meaner", and without sounding harsh, should be kept for cars that have a lot of power.

Probably because there aren't as many members who can hold such a discussion as can comment on colour schemes!

No chip you are wrong, the reason this thread has lasted so long is because Toby started it and everyone wanted to see what he said.

Well I did anyway, him an 0.1mph are my favourite members ;)
