Bimmian.com. I am not thrilled with their service. They were supposed to come with adhesive promoter which they did not and when one of the edges started to come up, customer service wanted me to pay $50 for a new set. I think they were $60 plus shipping. I like the look a lot. Just make sure you either heat them with a blow dryer before putting them on or do so on a hot sunny day.

So you installed it yourself? Besides the missing adhesive, was it pretty easy? How do you remove the OEM trim?
You don't. It just fits right over it.

Hmm ok. So the CF is very thin, then? Does it protrude at all, or make the frame look too chunky?

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
I agree with your father, and I drive a 545. The badge on the trunk says it all to those who know or care; your addition says more about you 
Cheers, enjoy it,
