chrome on a ///M pack bumper = blasphemy. Yet another stab at the ///M philosiphy.

Other then that, I definitely like the shape of the bumper and the overall look of the kit. I hope there is another set of optional bigger wheels.

Yeah its almost like they're trying to go after the S-Class AMG kit buyers. Even the AMG S doesn't have that much chrome.

Chrome on the rear bumper looks terrible, the front it bearable but I think it would look better (help me out here Bimmer boys) that optional extra for the shifter where the metal is a lor darker?

All in all the front bumper looks good, needs nicer rims tho

You're talking about the 'ceramic' option for the interior.

The kit looks half baked. Chrome strips could have been more slimmer. BMW could have done a better job, the strips tacky.

Yes thats it, I forgot the name!

If BMW offered ceramic strips instead of chrome, the appearance would be much better.

The chrome on the bumper needs some time to get use to it. It stands out quite a bit, hard to focus on the whole car, probably because of the colour (black). I'm sure it'll look better in white or a lighter colour.

BMW has concentrated the chrome to distinct areas, the S Class AMG is covered in chrome. There is a difference.

Personally I find both offerings from MB and BMW to be quite attractive. The 7er has the chrome bars while the S has the LEDS, which make both stand out.
