sorry for ^^^ post, i maybe have been a little under the influences.

Back on topic- How exactly did u get the glossy black. i will be ordering titanium silver or silver grey and in my opinion the glossy black would take the cake over both the chrome and the typical shadowline.

if we started a new poll we could add the following catagories:

1) Chrome (shiny)
2) Shadowline (black)
3) Merv the Derve (by far the best, and oh yea glossy black looks the best)

I like the chrome with black car... not worth the extra money that could be spent on other upgrades.

How did you go about getting high gloss shadowline - looks gorgeous.

The "High Gloss Shadow Line" was an optional extra and cost me ?135 ($250) on the M sport model. In the UK its available on the 545i SE at ?285 ($540). Its a great finish and includes the large black areas between the doors, the outline of the windows and mirror edges/brackets.

Shadowline trim looks a little dull to me, and cheap.

I guess i am different I like shadowline on black I think the chrome looks to flashy on a black car, but im a sucker for blacking out the whole thing im blacking out my front grills also.

Personally the only way that I would even consider chrome is on a silver or white car. But different strokes for different folks

Theres my 2 cents i would go with shadowline.
