Gloss Black Trim

JAMS 135 · 03-15-2008, 10:17 PM

It is actually a metallic black.. sort of like Black Sapphire.

spudw · 03-15-2008, 10:59 PM

My fav trim by a mile...

mrgoochio · 03-15-2008, 11:51 PM

Impressive, looks very good. I'm glad I got high gloss black.. Still a bit nervous about the lemon though

EINSER M · 03-16-2008, 12:00 AM

quit secong guessing yor lemon! buy some boxes of lexol quick wipes and conditioner and be a nazi about stains and you will enjoy lemon!!!!

Chop79 · 03-16-2008, 12:57 AM

The trim looks great. That's the first thing I noticed from the pics rolling in today. I think I might have to change my order. hmmm....

Love the piano black gloss , had it in my Audi S3

We dont get it in Australia - it's crap that we don't! Ill have to do a retrofit from EU parts

mrgoochio · 03-16-2008, 05:59 AM

We have High Gloss Black in the States, not Piano Black

Kris · 03-16-2008, 06:10 AM

High Gloss, Piano Black its the same thing with different names. High Gloss is what you'll see on Piano hence, Piano Black

From what I understand, they are not the same.

Take this quote from atr_hugo for example:

This quote was taken from discussion about the trims in question, "piano" and "High Gloss Black".

I'm just glad the finish of the High Gloss is as nice as it has turned out to be :wink:

If I am wrong, sorry for even more confusion!

Thanks for the pic. The cardboard trim is hot too.

Haha, more stain resistant and waterproof than Lemon leather!

JK Lemon folks.

mrgoochio · 03-16-2008, 07:19 AM

I better call my SA and ask him to change my leather for cardboard then...

We don't get it in the UK either, but it's available on the 3 series.

We have got it on our 335d, it looks great but is a nightmare to keep clean.

Did that perforated leather shift knob come with the car or is that an accessory item? BTW, if you don't mind my asking, where in No CA are you? I'm in S.F. and expectiing my 135 with SGM, Coral Red and Black trim in about 2 weeks. - Cody

Comes with ZPP

mrgoochio · 03-17-2008, 02:02 AM

Does the BMWUSA site list the perforated leather shift knob as part of the premium pkg? I didn't see it there.. I actually like that shift knob.. kindof sad I won't receive one. :iono:

JAMS 135 · 03-17-2008, 06:43 AM

That shift knob is part of the sports package, I believe.. I don't have the premium package.

mrgoochio · 03-19-2008, 04:01 AM

Yeah I was confused.. I thought the M shift knob didn't have a perforated leather wrap. If you have time, can you snap more pics of the shifter with the high gloss black trim around it?

A shot with this angle would be perfect..

Trying to see how the high gloss black compares in some good natural light compared to the aluminum trim

Availbable as a "genuine accessory" though

imported_Captain Slow · 03-19-2008, 07:02 PM

I just tried to order the high gloss black trim and was told by my sa that the computer wouldn't let him enter it. It's not listed in the U.S. brochure but it is still shown on the web site. Anybody else have this trouble?
