Looks like a lot of newer BMW owners want the shadowline trim look and a few have wrapped. Can't find an e46 owner that has done it yet. I wonder how it holds up

They even have a diy on installing.
Been looking into this product as my right window trim is broken (a part fell off), new OEM is $500+ and there are virtually no ZHP's in Canada, much less at the local scrap yard. Might just get the flat black trim off a 320i and wrap it. Anyone ever tried these rolls ?
I'd love to see shadowlines wrapped in 3M CF wrap.
I helped wrap a buddies E46 sedan last year with some flat black vinyl. I don't know the brand but it was pretty thin stuff. The back section were it wraps down to the door is a pretty tricky part. Had to break out the heat gun and work it a few times. It looked ok in that section and pretty good for the rest.
Can't tell you how good it held up since the car was totaled a couple months later.
Mine's wrapped in 3m black gloss. Looks much better than before. I'll take some pics when I can.

So here's pre-wrap:

And this is post-wrap (sorry, had a heck of a time getting a decent photo. I'll do better in daylight)

Looks very nice! I assume it doesn't look like tape at all ? Might just rewrap both sides to make it look new.
Yeah, it's pretty hard to tell if you do it right. And you're right - do all of it even if it doesn't need it. Worst case you peel it off.

Probably what I'll do. Thanks!
