I have them on my car, and they look chrome black as well...

BMW Performance Black Kidney Grille-Left(PN: 51 71 2 155 451)
BMW Performance Black Kidney Grille-Right(PN: 51 71 2 155 450)

Edition front grilles left- 51 13 7 979 349
Edition front grilles Right- 51 13 7 979 350
I don't think BMW Performance grills are chrome black, rldzhao. My set is just standard gloss black -- they look like jet black paint. The Edition grills that I've seen (in pictures) definitely have a more defined chromium appearance that gives the impression of an almost purple/oily sheen, similar to some wheels' hyper black finish.
