I suppose it depends a little on the exterior color but definitely not for me.

I find it hilarious that people here will love a "baby blue" car, or rave about the more extreme individual colors and then act like this grill is the craziest thing they've ever seen.

It's not for me, but I think it'd look ok once you see actually on a car.

Not a fan of it but it's all about your personal taste and what color car you will be putting them on. Be different and unique

Are you going to buy a meth kit for it and bring it to a rave?

My vote is no as well.

My cars black, just working on a wrap design,
I've made its stealth during day and illuminates at night or you can control it via your mobile, each strip will be able to change to colours desired.

Well, the colors are completely off.

But I see nothing wrong if it were better executed though. If it could still look OEM when off (which I doubt), and have more accurate colors, I would totally do it and turn it on for a car meet and that sort of thing. Pretty neat idea.

Definitely a negative for road use though. Could be "impersonating an emergency vehicle"

Would have rather seen the M3/M3 logo on the grill light up then the 3 stripes. It would be more subtle and tie in nicely with the light up logos on the seats.

I believe the OP is planning on selling these, not just using them.

It's a good idea only if the grill in your mouth is the same color!!



Like others have said, not for me but maybe in a color that matches what car it's going on. Anyway it's a good effort on your part, some people will like it and others won't just like any other mods for this car.
