    You are talking about the trim that is at the bottom of the windows? It is also black on the 318is's.

                So does just about any decent auto parts store. It's called Aluminum polish. :D

                        dunno if you were talkin to me, but i stuck with the chrome look out of laziness. the alpine white coupe i recently bought will get the shadowline treatment though.

                              that trim inside the car on top of the door trim just came off for me, it doesn't even look too bad w/o it on there to tell you the truth since it's not held on there with clips or anything.
