I have always taken pride in "modding my cars very Tastefully" over the many years and cars I've owned. I always like to personalize them. Some of those touches may never be seen or noticed to the untrained eye. But I know they are there.
Case in point... I found some aluminum or stainless steel (either way, I'm pleased) iDrive Button Covers for my F01. BEFORE: AFTER: |

I can't explain it but somehow my home loses forks/knives/spoons regularly. I filled in some missing pieces by buying à la carte units from my supplier of choice Liberty Tabletop. Made in USA. 🇺🇸

Those look very classy. It really improves contrast by allowing the black trim ring to be an accenting point as well now.

is that three separate pairs or does the one change color like a chameleon?

I’ve been wanting these ever since I bought the Ikon steak knives a few years ago, which I love. Now that we have a vacation condo where we can move our 20-year old lower-grade Henckels set, I have an excuse.
I bought a starter 7 piece set (which is really 4 knives + block + shears + steel) along with an additional serrated knife separately. Block has room for 4 more knives if we so choose. On sale at Williams-Sonoma but still effing expensive. Looking forward to using them on Christmas Eve now that the money is out the door.

Nice, those are similar to my Clarks chukka boots but a little higher quality I'm guessing. Are they pretty comfortable right out of the box, or do they need some time to break in?

I bought a Wusthof classic starter set years ago which was money well spent. Quality knives work so much easier compared to the cheap Farberware set I was using previously.

It's amazing how often I encountered German products last year at my US trip, aside of the cars for sure. Did you get a fair price or did it cause some extra taxes caused by european products punish tolls?

Aside from BMW (and Audi) and the knives, we also have a Miele vacuum and Bosch dishwasher and I have been using Braun razors for years. So yeah there is pretty good representation of German engineered products in our home.

But we have products from all over. We buy what we think is the best combination of quality / price. If that is the U.S. (and often it is) then great, but otherwise we go with what we think is best for us. To each their own.
