I had a few people ask..the grille, side markers, and door handles were all wrapped by the same guy that did the paint protection film for me...

I'm normally anti-chrome and had a blacked out m4, but with the m5 i think the chrome ties in well with the headlights... might change my mind if i see carbon fiber surrounds close up.

Thanks guys... My wife liked the chrome and I would have probably left it if I had a white roof but since the roof is carbon it only makes sense to black out the chrome and I'm eventually going to buy carbon fiber mirror caps to complete the look. In my opinion, it gives it a much sportier look than stock. I can't believe that BMW doesn't offer it from the factory with black :-\

Looks awesome and it's exactly what I did to my current 550i M and will do to my M5 that's at the port awaiting a vessel!

PS! That 3.8 Cayman looks quite special as well.
