125i options in Australia - black kidney grille

Hey guys, I was just reading through the gloss brochure (for the 20th time!) and noticed something I hadn't seen before...

According to page 54 under Exterior Design, it claims that the 125i comes with Kidney Front Grille in Black as standard, whereas the 135i gets the Kidney Front Grille in Chrome.

Now, does that mean the vertical "bits" of the grille only, or the entire thing, including the frame around the outside?



Also, all 1 series coupes in Australia have the vicinity lights integrated into the door handles:

Hey, easy dude! Some of us may take offence to that

So, do you reckon it's the entire grille that's black or just these bits?

In the 325 vs 330, 328 vs 335, 525 vs 530/545 it's always been the norm that the 25 models have black vertical slats and chrome surrounds, and the 30/35's have all chrome.

here in SA, the 125 and 135 both come with the chrome grilles (bars and surround). It is just the 120d that comes with the black bars and chrome surrounds. You dont even get the option to have the chrome grill on your 120d. I feel the chrome looks more upmarket but black has its own sense of style as well.
