I like the look of it on my car being black, I think the chrome stands out too much otherwise. It is funny that people do try and cover up chrome to try and look like the shadowline trim, most people would be confused on that, as with most cars that's an upgrade to have chrome.

chrome trim tells other bmw drivers the it is a non-sport vehicle. shadow line trim tells other bmw drivers that the vehicle is equipped with sports package. Black gloss trim is usually standard on M vehicles.
Most of us do not like chrome on our vehicles. we feel it cheapens the image of our BMWs. There are certain instances, only when it's done correctly when the chrome trim flow with the vehicle. ie Member Nerweezy's vehicle. nerwyll's car is the only vehicle i have seen with chrome trim that is show quality worthy.
just my $0.2
