Jake aka JDHart from this forum told me he got the shadowline trim for about $200 shipped via 2nd day from Gary At BMW Newport. Gary offers 25% discount for E60 members. So call him the part numbers and he will give you a quote with shipping. That's the best price you'll get if you go OEM. You must remove the chrome trim and install the new trim yourself. It does not go over the top.
the pic shows you what has to come out sorry I havent got more detailed pics of when we did it, we also had the pillars painted gloss black to hence they had to be removed.
