If you have chrome on your US sport package, as noted in your sig, then someone already changed it for you.
Probably it was CPO, and yes it is Prem and Sport Pkg

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

My Ride: BMW E61 525DSE Auto Touring.
2004 54 plate
Metalic saffire Black,
Active Steering.
18 Inch Style 124 Alloys,
falken 452s
Beige Leather
Dark Poplar Wood Trim
xenon bulb upgrade
blutooth phone prep
i like the touches of chrome around the windows,grille and rear numbers on my saffire black e61
i think it just lifts it a bit and looks classy not keen on the totally blacked out look but would not
mind some black alloys with a pollished rim

I had the chrome for almost two years. I think it looks nice. I just wanted to add shadowline for a change. That started an odyssey into darkness that included black grilles, rear 530 emblems, and smoked side markers. This weekend I'm painting my exhaust tips black and probably pulling the red Cal Covers--or painting them black.
