My Ride: A Car
I just noticed something very funny.
Chrome "Shadowline" Trim is the most expensive one
Next is the regular Shadowline for the sports package
then the cheapest is high gloss shadowline.
That does not makes sense. LOL. If u guys r upgrading, upgrade to the high gloss. It's cheaper!

My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
I dunno John, Gary quoted me $200 for regular shadowline and $800 for high gloss. I don't know how much the chrome was.

My Ride: Jan 2006 E63 650i Sport
.
Options:
Sport version (includes: sport-seats, sport-suspension, M-Sport steering wheel, Anthracite headliner, Shaddow Line), Saphire Black, Black Dakota Leather, Anthracite Maple Wood trim, Steptronic Auto, Xenons, NAV-Professional with Voice Control, TV, CD-Changer, Bluetooth, Logic7, Head-up Display, Comfort Access, Seat Heating front, Auto Dimming & Folding Mirrors, Extended Auto Air Conditioning, PDC.
.
Mods:
Spacers 5mm front & 15mm rear
.
Wheels:
20" Alpina Softline (Classic) with Dunlop Sport Maxx non-RFT (255/35/20 & 285/30/20)
those prices seem high, especially for the US. check out Schmiedmann ( www.schmiedmann.com ), which is a Denmark based company specialising in BMW mods who also supply Shaddow Line and High-gloss Shaddow Line retro fits. The shaddow line is EUR 180 (similar to price above) and the high-gloss shaddow line is around EUR 450 (much cheaper than the 800 USD listed above).
The high gloss really does look great, I've had both on my M-Sport 5ers. However if you already have matt-black items on the car then the "normal" shaddow line will complement it nicely.
