Yay or Nay - grill inserts and a question
Hi all - came across these m-color grill inserts for my M340iX and wanted to hear thoughts on whether or not to keep them. I don't love them, but I also don't hate them.
Other question - want to change the OEM spoiler to something more along the lines of a CS style spoiler. But, the car is black sapphire metallic with no other carbon fiber. Should I look to color match a new spoiler or would the CF look ok? Any help greatly appreciated!!! |

Great feedback and I kind of have the same opinion. I like a little pop of color up front, especially in "M" colors, but quality is definitely poor. Also worth noting, I ditched the rear XDrive badge and swapped the M340i badge for black where the M colors are all you can easily see from afar.
Any thoughts on CF spoiler on Black Sapphire Metallic or go with paint matching? |

I went CF spoiler to match the CF diffuser and love it. I don't think you can go wrong either way with the BSM, just depends on whether you have all the other CF additions or not in my opinion. |

Thanks to all for the commentary. I had a pretty good idea what answer I'd get, just needed to hear it. Grill inserts have been removed, never to be worn again.
- emtreefowty - where'd you pick up the black rear diffuser? |

I agree with the majority here, the inserts don't look all that great.
My M340i is Sapphire Black and I have a CF style spoiler with no other CF parts, I think it looks just fine. If anything, the CF texture breaks up the all-black look nicely. I was thinking of getting CF front grill as well instead of the black I have on currently.

I kinda like the M colors on the vertical slat grills. But not on the M340i grill. Having said that, I still wouldn't have them on MY car.
