My e90 Shadowline window trim.

beauderek · 02-13-2007, 06:47 PM

I just changed my trim from chrome to shadowline, and am very happy with it. Never mind the swirl marks, I'm gonna have to address those come Spring. Once again, I'm sorry for my bad photography skills.

canucklion · 02-13-2007, 06:51 PM

where did you buy it? price?

Ryan323i · 02-13-2007, 06:52 PM

+1 Swirls make me nauseous.

ctgazer · 02-13-2007, 06:55 PM

^^oh snap...

what are shadow lines? the black pieces of plastic?

canucklion · 02-13-2007, 07:03 PM

shadow lines are glossy black trims around the window

oneshare325 · 02-13-2007, 07:04 PM

Looking good! but I have to say... Those are some of the worst swirls I have ever seen! Good luck getting them out!

I said never mind the swirls!!!

I was the victim of a few dealer washes, when my car was new. (Didn't know they were that bad, until I saw the photos.) Since then, I wash the car by hand with sheep skin mitt and dry with MF towel.

The trim was around 750. (I'll post the exact dealer price, I don't have the receipt on me) But they took 10 percent off because I'm a BMW car club member, and they gave me another discount because I'm a regular. The order took three days.

Only way to do it!

GuyOh · 02-13-2007, 09:04 PM

looks good!!!

hey do you guys thing that shadowline would look good on an AW?

ages944 · 02-13-2007, 09:21 PM

OK, forget the swirl marks (pretty bad though - should take a look at that), but what's up with the rusty rotors?

MonacoBimm · 02-13-2007, 09:23 PM

Nice. You only need the door pillars.

2009BMW335 · 02-13-2007, 09:36 PM

damn that's a lot of money for what looks like weather stripping. i'm just going to take a sharpee to mine

damn...$750 US is way too much for me to spend on weather stripping...$250-$300 is more around the amount i'd spend...$750 is almost a new exhaust

ALPINE6SPD · 02-13-2007, 10:16 PM

for some reason that does not look shiny enough to be shadowline trim.

Sold my old chrome trim to offset the costs.

nine4surfah · 02-13-2007, 10:52 PM

That looks like the same trim from a 325i. I can't see the difference.

Not Ur Avg 3 · 02-13-2007, 10:53 PM

one mans trash is another mans treasure

montreal_bimmer · 02-13-2007, 10:54 PM
