High Gloss Shadowline Question

Hello all, my first post here.

In the process of ordering at the moment and was wondering about what exactly high gloss shadowline exterior trim is? There isnt much information about it. I'm going for alpine white SE so like the white on black contrast. Does high gloss shadowline give you black roof rails?

Thanks in advance.

The roof liner is black but I am not sure if it is high-gloss or just "plain black". If I recall correctly from the dealer info high-gloss roof liner is an additional option.

On my previous E91 M-sport with black high-gloss shadowline, the roof liner was not high-gloss as standard feature.

OK I'm still not clear on this as my dealer is saying its just around the windows and the high gloss shadowline doesnt make the roof rails black?

Garage List
Shadowline trim is a high gloss black (like a piano black) around all windows, and the B pillars. It also includes the finish "triangle" around the side view mirrors as well as the bottom third of the mirrors. Standard finish would be a matt black or chrome, depending ont the trim level (28i vs. 35i).

The roof rails are not part of the Shadowline trim, and would still be a satin silver.
