ah the good ol' shadowline trim.

its $$$ at the dealer... in the e39 world people are quite fond of putting a trim tape on top of it.

or, if it's still in good condition, why not save up some $$$ and spray paint the trim to high-gloss...(but make sure it's properly primered) i think it'll look more up-to-date since the LCI's sport package now comes standard with high-gloss black...(that's what's offered now in my country)

i think i too need an update on this, my shadowline trim now looks a bit dull.....

give mileoneparts.com (tischer bmw) a call they do 20-30% off msrp or go to thier site and put in the part number to see how much it is.

I personally like the chrome grill since my car is black it outlines the window area nicely. also my windows are tinted so it looks good.
