My Ride: 2008 520d LCI.
HUD, active lights + high beam assistant, panoramic sunroof, manual gbox, grey leather and navi professional.
It's a nice car with an impressive engine.
Shadowline for shure!
I had that on my old e39 and i loved it. There is chrome around the windows on my e61.
I liked shadowline better...

In the U.S. the sport package for the 535xit consists of comfort seats, the sport steering wheel, and shadowline trim around the side windows instead of chrome. So ordering the "sport package" really comes down to whether you like chrome or black trim around the windows (comfort seats can be ordered separately). I'm thinking that the chrome may actually look better on dark colors and the shadowline looks better on light colors because of the contrast....but I'm looking for other opinions. Thanks....

shadowline looks more calm & solid, especially at dark-colored bodies. AS I may roughly calculate, Shadow line beats Chrom-line with 15:2 score 
or something like this 
Chinese & Arabian guys mainly prefer shining glossy chrome or golden trims all around the car's body ... just remeber LC100 (Land Cruiser) - they make golden trims at base.. chrome looks very similar... IMHO

Anybody knows of the part number for retrofitting the shadowline trim for the wagon? I can find the front and rear window part numbers in realoem but I can't find the parts between the C pillar and the liftgate.

Don't know the part numbers, but I do know that replacing the trims on the rear most side windows is not a piece of cake.. The windows need to be popped out to replace the trims...
