If you're referring to the chrome trim around the window, then yes, you can buy a shadowline trim kit from any BMW dealer. I did mine last summer and it took about 2 hrs. THere's a DYI on the forum that I followed and it was spot on.
GOod luck.

Shadow line trim is what you need buddy, any tinting place can do this for you for 150 for all 4 doors, got mine done 3 weeks ago and it was perfect, just had to wait for it for about an hour.. Where you located at? If u are in socal I can tell you where to go... Good luck keep us posted

Go OEM bro you can get it for $220 and install it your self... Rest assured it would last for as long as you own your car. Gary at Tischer BMW

Don't waste your time with anything else. So OEM shadowline and replace, not cover up, that old chrome trim. $220 from gary romani or ticsher bmw.
