My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
I was contemplating changing to the shadowline but since there seem to be so few with the chrome trim here I may just end up keeping it, it is starting to seem more unique to have it. If I already had the shadowline trim, however, there's no way I would change it out.

shadowline looks great but i dont think the window trim looks all that bad. Chrome wheels like my old ones are completely unacceptable.
