Matt for more sporty and aggressive look. Gloss for luxurious and OEM feel. Up to you.

I have the matt. Black sapphire.

I just purchased the matte grilles because the lower vents on the M-pack is matte, however, I want to change the fender light trim to match the gloss shadow line trim and the gloss underside of the mirrors, however, I am unable to locate the item?
Also, why would BMW mix and match gloss and matte trim on the car? My 2008 e60 was uniformed in trim. Am I the only one to notice this?

I bought these matte black fender light trim pieces and had a body shop paint them gloss. Worked out well.
