hi im looking at a 2001 330ci convertible, ive noticed that the non sport 330ci's have a crome strip running around the top of the doors and windscreen pillar. is there anyway to change these so that they are colour coded to the car? or am better looking for a sport model??

You can spray them black
swap them for black trims

sports do look alot nicer

where do i buy these trims from bmw? and are they easy to fit?

I think you can get gloss black (high gloss shadow line) from the dealers....not sure how easy they are to fit though....would image that they are push fits....

Would you mean #13 on this: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BS52&mospid=47605&btnr=51_4137&hg=51&fg=20 ?

I could not find the strips on top of the doors but im sure they are there somewhere...

Have a word with a parts dept for these numbers + prices and at the same time, ask about the ones above the windows.

Will give you an idea of the total cost involved for the parts.
