Anyone have the interior chrome package or plan on getting it?

Thoughts on this or pictures? I think it looks pretty cool....

Are you referring to the $375 accessory? If so I wanted to add it to my car but wasn't sure if you had to option it during production or afterwards through the dealer.

Upgrade15 · 03-29-2011, 09:59 PM

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. I'm not sure if it's a dealer option or not. I just got an email back from the salesperson...but it did sort of sound like a dealer thing. Not sure how to feel about that or if it matters.

It's a dealer fit, not factory and I've read some bad feedback on it on this forum, e.g. looks like a cheap sticker

I saw one who had this... a combo of brushed alu trims, with the red leather in a grey car and with this chrome thingy... man, was that ugly! :-)
I guess it's just a matter of taste but imho this looks very cheap and not BMW worthy

Looks cheap, causes unnecessary reflections, attracts fingerprints and costs $375, otherwise it's great.

Also goes well with stick-on "Buick" fender "exhaust" ports.

They will make your X3 unique. Talk about "cool" !!
Of course to complete the "look" you need a set of 22 inch chrome spinner dubs.

Looks good IMO but in reality it sticky 3M plastic = NASTY and the cost if excessive! (cheap imitation of higher end BMWs that have chrome insert into trim)
