Just shell out the $240.00 or so it takes and buy the real shadowline trim.
You drive a fairly expensive car, why go ghetto with the tape?
I called Garry at Newport BMW and he hooked it up. All other dealers in my
area wanted upwards of $800.00 for it.
Installed it today on my black e60 and it looks SO good. I threw the chrome in
the trash.

Are you nuts? I'm having the trim I pulled off today gold-plated, then I'm putting it on e-Bay. Gotta be a buyer in Dubai! ![Laughing](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/laughing.gif)

U serious? lol
The second that chrome trim came off into my hands, I felt so dirty....so very very dirty.
After a quick exorcism and repeated OCD washing of my hands I threw the chrome in the
trashcan, hopefully to be sent to the bowels of hell for eternity.
Chrome is evil.
