Bright Metal Trim Around Windows Or Not

bg · 07-31-2007, 12:56 PM

I'm a bit confused. I've seen E90's with bright trim and others with black. Does the engine size 328 v. 335 or is it the sports package option that determines the trim. I have a 08 335xi with sports pkg. on order, what should I expect. Thanks in advance.

all U.S. 3 series come with silver trim.

328 comes with black trims and 335 comes with chrome trims. But I think all coupes come with chrome trims. I believe that's the case.

Correct! With one distinction: E90 (sedan) has brighter or shiny (er) trim and E92 (coupe) has a dull chrome or silver look. My co-worker picked up his coupe 2 weeks ago and we compared and my sedan indeed has brighter chrome trim.

Cheers!

Yeah, I noticed that just a bit ago. So irked considering I like the brushed satin look better than the bright chrome. Its bad enough they wouldnt give us the shadow black for the sports package.

hmm..I though it was a premium package thing. (US).

This is standard, not package-related.
