High-gloss shadowline on M Sport?

Post by ksher » Sat May 29, 2010 11:57 pm

According to the brochure, exterior trim - high-gloss shadowline is standard on M Sport models. But I really can't see it. My understanding is that it refers to the window frame. The window frames on my zed are just matt black plastic, not gloss at all.

I think on all E89's the bits of trim on the A pillars are glossy looking. Probably a mistake in the brochure.

That's what I think. The A pillars on all E89 (standard and M Sport) have high gloss finish. I thought the whole window frame had too on M Sport and is.
