I know there was a piano black trim available as part of the individual program that is very expensive. I really don't want to pay for that.
I'm hoping there is also a cheaper glossy black plastic trim available for e60's (pre facelift)? Anyone have any info on it or can point me to more info?
I know this was available for my old X5 and even 3-series... it was actually the lowest-end trim available... what about e60's?
I don't like either the aluminum or wood trim in the M5 and I'll want to swap that out when I get my car but I don't want to pay rediculous prices for the piano stuff.

I would see what a shop would charge you to just paint your trim for you. I had it done in my last car and it was pretty reasonable. That route may be cheaper than buying a new trim set altogether and would still give you your desired end result.

i don't know of one... I was actually interested in that too! It would look sick! Painting would probably be a good alternative as well. Or check this out... It is very similar to the leather CF option available on the new M-cars. (minus the stitching)

Anyone know if there is a black plastic trim available for the e60 other than the piano wood individual trim?

That threat you linked to doesn't seem to talk about any kind of trim... what am I missing?

In Europe, glossy black trip is a no charge option. Piano black is about US$1000.00.
If you want to change out the wood trip for glossy black, I think you should be able to order it through your parts department at the local dealer. Check the BMW UK website (Build Your BMW) for the part number.

Here's a thread of someone who painted his trim glossy black.
