It means that the chrome sorrounding your windows is black.

I believe Shadowline is matte/flat black instead of chrome. (What we get in the US w/ Sport Pack)

Chrome Shadowline is shiny black instead of chrome. (Not available in the US?)

Don't you mean High Gloss Shadowline ? Well at least thats what its called in Europe. As an option on M Sport models it cost about $200 but as retrofit I believe its at least three times as much (consists of lots of small pieces including the wing mirrors). Looks much better than the matt shadowline in my opinion.

Has anyone been able to order the High Gloss Shadowline for US cars afterwards? I want to retrofit that onto mine... I dont like the Matt shadowline as much.

Trev - in Canada does the M Sport model come as standard with high gloss shadowline ? If not did you specify it ?

Elsewhere on M Sport models we only get the normal shadowline and you have to pay slightly more for the gloss version.

Also how come the M Sport model is available in Canada and not in the USA ?? Very odd and if thats the case BMW NA seems totally screwed up.
