De-chroming is not an option here in the US.

Cars with the US sports package (suspension, AS, ARS) get the non-shinny black trim. Cars without the sports package get chrome. Unfortunately, that's our only choice.

The shiny shadow looks sooooo good on a black car!! I would never choose it on any other color but on black it looks sick!!

Yesterday I saw a 520i with the dull black instead of the chrome.. It looked so cheap. Doesn't the 520i get chrome??? The car looked like the cheapest version with the small wheels and cloth on the seats.
Could have been me, other than for the location... I have a simple little 520i, which happens to be dechromed (as of December 2003 when I ordered my car it was called that, no 'shadow line' anywhere in the specs). It has the stock wheels and it has cloth seats, a basic navigation system because I really need it, an automatic and pretty much nothing else, because I couldn't afford it, since ?30,000 was all I could spend.

But that isn't what you need to call cheap. It is nice that you can afford an extra ?6K or ?8K, glad that you can but the disrespect I can do without.

530E60NL walked right into that one never put down a particular model/colour combo whatever, on a site like this.....someone will always catch you out. Each to their own I say, I am the biggest fraud my cars spec says > ?30k but because I bought ex-demo actually paid lot less than that...i'm tight, i admit it

you are totally correct ?30K is not cheap in anyones eyes....well except maybe Bill Gates or the Sultan of Brunei. anyway welcome to the site...get registered

You might want Ultraplanet to chime in on that one. I do believe it is possible. He spoke of it on our meet last weekend.
