Shadowline is flat black color while the high gloss is the shiny black color.
In the U.S. "Shadowline" in NOT flat. It is shiny (at least on the X5) and I think on other models too.

Option 339 is referred to as De-chrome in the UK and the window frames and door B pillars are finished in matt black. The high gloss shadowline finish is not currently available. This option costs ?145 in the UK.

I have shadowline trim in my e39 and I think it's more of a matte finish, it only shines if I rub armor all on it.

Actually now that you mention it I think Shadowline Trim used to be matte a few years ago, but the newer ones (ex. 2001 X5) are high gloss.

It is matt on this picture:


but historically the 5 series with v8 has high gloss surface.

According to this photo you can get high gloss (if it is satin chrome):



Segovia, can you confirm that the green car above had B-pillars in high gloss at Frankfurt?
