In several countries (including Germany) the 1M silver trim (
"Chrome Line") is a standard feature. The gloss black trim (
"Hochglanz Shadow Line") is optional (option 760). It cannot be retrofitted, in principle. But be the first to give it a try.
According to my purchase order it was €103.31 + 21% VAT = €125.00 in 2011. According to the German specs list it was €100.84 + taxes = €120.00 in 2011 (
"BMW Individual Hochglanz Shadow Line: hochglänzende schwarze Ausstattungsumfänge").
Both are nice. The vast majority on this forum prefers the
"Shadow Line" (more sporty look) over the
"Chrome Line" (more elegant look). But of course, that's just a matter of personal taste.
