Quite funny
I used to sell and install grills for E46 318i owners that didnt like the bottom range cars having the chrome outer with black slats grills. They wanted the higher spec Chrome outer with chrome slats grills.

Now with he F10 its the other way round

I did the same before installing performance grills. Just for clarification, it comes off easily from the louvers to reveal black but you can't do the same with the bezels.

So true. That and the chrome door trim that was reserved for the higher 3ers.
