It's just widely viewed by true BMW enthusiasts as tacky. BMW never, ever, had tri colored slats on any grill or any model.
It's on the same level as fuzzy dice, slanted wheels, an Italian horn hanging from the mirror, wrap around sunglasses, etc. Just don't be showing up to any BMW cars and coffees with them. You will be on an island by yourself.
