A friend did this to his wife's new base model X5. I trolled him for it and he got a bit offended, stating it simply gives the car a "clean" look. This guy is a typical BMW image-conscious customer, not some purist.

I think it looks tacky, cheap, and try-hard. BMW M division has never put such stripes on grille slats, so what are you trying to emulate? If you want an M division product then work hard and buy one, don't try to accessorize your base white X5 to appear like something it is not.
