Replacing shadowline

sor74 · 02-25-2009, 07:50 AM

Hey guys,

Soon to pick up an '09 SG/black 335xi from Germany, hopefully friday/monday. I'm going to give the shadowline a tryout but really prefer the chrome trim. Have any of you guys done this or have any recs on a place trustworthy enough to do this to my new baby?

I did the chrome to Shadowline swap at Bavarian Performance Group

Thanks for the quick reply. Did you get the part through them. How much did this set you back?

Anyone in the area consider swapping trims? Does it come off in good enough shape for this?

No, the Shadowline and the brushed aluminum trim can crease very easily so they can come out destroyed even with an experienced tech, especially the piece that goes on top the windows.

so removing and installing is just as dangerous as swapping?

Interesting, Evan at Tischer told me to swap with someone. Did yours go on ok at Bavarian Performance Group?
