Blacked out grills and Badges (Take off black M?)

Should I take off the black M? The M colors are so iconic! But it looks sooo good blacked out

Why would you take the black M off? Your car came with it from the factory. Unless you want to debadged your car. I love black badges.

So here is a middle of the road alternative I am running - sorry for the piss poor cropped photo that makes the emblem look crooked

Ps- oops didn't address your question - Um I like what you have but i think the little splash of color stands out and looks nice (especially with everything else being black including your x drive) - just my 2-cents - no wrong (or right) answers here / beautiful car - hoping my example helps

i'm referring as the color of the M, remove the black so it's blue and red! not the M itself you silly creation!

Haha my bad.

I like what chenry has done. Black M badge with the M colors showing Of course there's nothing wrong with an all black badge but a splash of color definitely helps.

personally, I’d black out the cerium color. Keep the “M” emblem as intended.
Mine is RWD so didn’t have to worry about the xdrive badge
