Thumbs up M Performance Grille & debadged today!

Well guys I picked her up last Friday and I did two small things today. New Grille and removed the xDrive and 535i. Clean and easy install.

True story....

While in the Navy I was going to Air Intercept Controller school and had to go back occasionally for currency. The facility's official name was something like Fleet Combat Training Facility Western... Blah, blah blah... Their callsign was "Ruth" so that is what I put in our phone book. I was overseas and got a letter from my wife asking, in no uncertain terms, just who Ruth was! It took quite a bit of convincing for her to finally believe me! I even told her to call!

May not be a good idea to tell her about the "hot German" in the garage!!

The grills and de-badge already makes it look 10x better! Lighter is better with tints IMO. I went with 50% and did the full windshield as well. With it being so light, even having the windshield done, it doesn't attract unnecessary attention.

Do the M-performance exhaust and get some nice 20's and you're set. You got the best color here!
