Anyone know where I can buy the chrome time that goes on the roof guttering and also around the side windows. BMW told me it's no longer available.

the gutter trim most people will have, but the 'ears' around the c pillar (if that's what you mean) have chrome sections attached to the plastic trim which is colour coded, plus the coupe and 4 door ears are different shapes..

If it's NLA then I'd say your only option is to wait for a decent condition 2nd hand set to come up. Either that or see about getting yours rechromed.
