No High-gloss shadow line on 135 Cabrio

Bringinthewolf · 06-10-2008, 11:41 PM

Well after 5 weeks of waiting I finally found out that the High-gloss trim is not part of the M Sport package on the 135 Cabrios.
Despite the fact that it is listed on the order sheet as part of that package, BMW Canada changed the spec and did not notify the dealers.
Not a big deal because the aluminum trim looks good and has grown on me. I just thought I would let those waiting for their cars know so they won't be disappointed.

I believe what Wolf is talking about is the shadowline trim on the outside not the interior wood.

I think the silver trim would look nicer with SGM anyways, so I'm OK with it!

I actually like the silver trim. Under certain circumstances I think the black gloss would look great but on my car im enjoying the extra bit of definition the silver gives.

Since I ordered TiAg the silver trim will probably blend right in anyway.

haha and now the thread subject has changed. Interior trims aren't included with or w/o sports package as a hint; but anyways the shadowline is for coupes, sucks not cabrio's either.
