Think you answered your own question then
If it were me, I would remove it. You are cutting your headlight output.

Remove it and just get the side of the headlights tinted.

Example:


You might not be able to see it, but where your corner lights are (when you put your turn signal on), you should black that part out. It looks clean.

yea its too dark

I also would just plug in an LED like the new Lux H8 160 and call it a day. These modified headlights are like a dog chasing its tail. As soon as you upgrade to something like OSS, BMW releases an LCI that makes your brand new lights look dated again.

I've come to the conclusion to just embrace my pre-lci lights

I think blackout and upgraded rings are a must on these cars. They transform the whole front end!
