    '91 trim? what were the options? help me!

    was the '91 318iS the only car from '91 blessed with black trim around the windows? Shadow line trim as I think its called? What other cars had all black trim with no chrome...or was that only in europe? ...just wondering...

    the only US e30 that had shadowline trim stock was the 318is, you can always paint the chrome on yours, like i did mine

      E30 M3's as well. Go to a junkyard, or paint it. Painting it will give it that brand new look though as you probably won't find a trim off a parts car thats any good...

        One up on everyone and do what I'm doing :)

        Get full shadow line off a 318iS (already have) and then repaint it like new. Then the paint actually bonds instead of flaking off on the highway 8)

              Yeah, I'm afraid of what the prices are on all that though, Kris. :D

                eeeeekkkkkkkk
                I don't even have a freakin car yet!
                I'm a high school senior with no $$$$ what so ever and am about to take out a $5k loan so that I can get my e30...looking at a 1990 bronzit 325iS w/116k pretty soon...hopefully.
                I was just wondering about the trim...maybe I'll keep it silver as it won't be noticed that much on bronzit (assuming that I get that one) ...and I'm also looking at a '91 318iS, in which case I won't need to do the trim...
                thanks anyways

                  That would be a very poor choice. Not a good way to start "life"

                          I'm sorry, would you like to start a pissing match vs the forum owner? Because if so you have already lost.

                              That probably wouldn't be the smartest thing ever...
                              I'm just saying that I'm not relying on my parents at all--just that they said that they would put money into my car, which I'm not letting them do as I would rather them put their money towards me and my sister's education...but if I do get royally screwed and I lose my job, then I can always go back to them.
