Opinions wanted for front grille options

I have a black sapphire e92 with M package. I'm considering changing my front grille. Thinking if I should go with matte black or painted (black sapphire). Or leave as is?

All thoughts and opinions wanted.

Anyone who can share pics too would be great.

Thanks!

Do you have the black glossy shadowline trim on the doors and mirrors? If so, black glossy. If not, black matte. Just my .02 cents

If you have shadowline then go with gloss black.
