i tried this too. its only from the dealer you can get it. call ur BMW SA today and ask. problem is, for all of it it costs ~$600, and with installation its ~900$. I didnt do it because that kind of money could get much more than just chrome strips. instead i got an AC Schnitzer kit.

yeah. but its a really hard DIY. theres a pretty good chance that if you or someone else that doesnt know how to do it is going to break something. better u cough up that money.

good luck with it, i hope u dont break any railings. i found on some thread someone here used a chrome spray paint and just applied it to the strips. he said it came out perfect, so i think im going to go that way instead. its just not worth 500$. i rather get that money and use it on the decals i want to put on my car. and then take whatevers left towards blackline taillights.

it's nearly impossible to remove the chrome trim without bending it, once you bend it, you can't unbend it
ejazbmw, it's easy to take out the plastic black trim, once you take it out yourself, you might even be able to sell it, since it'll be in pristine condition
