Photos/thoughts on M performance rear Spolier / black grille on medeterranian blue?

Anyone have any pictures or thought on rear M spoiler and/or black grille on Med Blue?

I want the car to have a slightly athletic look but I don’t want it to look too sporty.

Let me know your thoughts. Thank you!

Do you have a non msport mode at present?

Personally think the spoiler looks good , it's quiet small so doesn't "shout".

Whether it's actually functional in anyway I have some doubts!

If you like it, go for it. Should be plenty of pictures here on this forum of msport med blue examples for you to gauge as to whether you like it or not

I have the M5 style black kidneys on my 530e M Sport. Here is an image for you:

In my opinion the front end looks more sporty with the black M5 style ones.

I agree. I'm looking at getting the black kidneys for my med blue as well.

Do you know if the M5 style can be purchased through BMW? I only see the single slat design on the website?

From what I see in the pics above, those really are not M5 grills. Black grills are a dealer and port accessory. I had my dealer put them on my car and he charged me around $200. And that includes me keeping the chrome surround OEM grills.

Edit: just looked again at the pics. One of them is the dual slat M5, but the other does not appear to.

Believe me, they are both M5 look kidneys. Why would I ever put M5 style on the other side and regular one on the other?

Taking out the kidneys from a G3X is a 2 minute job, and another minute putting them back. I absolutely see no reason paying $200 for a dealership to do such a simple job. I paid 70 euros for a non-OEM pair of black glossy M5 style kidneys and put them on myself.
