Like M plaques, there are many myths about chrome accessories for BMW. Probably the most common myth is that the product is described as chromium metal.

chrome fittings can be classified into four main groups:

Chromium metal *

* Chrome on plastic

* Metal

* Plastic painted

Chromium metal is what most believe to be chromium. This is where the support is plated iron or chromium based. However, many chrome accessories are not part of this group.

Today, many original features BMW chrome on ABS plastic substrate. The quality of the finish of plastics is essential to achieve a good finish and chrome on this BMW.

The likes of BMW 3 Series E36 chrome window switch surrounds, Chrome SRS badges BMW, BMW chrome door lock pins, buttons and Chrome BMW to name but a few are based on a substrate of ABS plastic with a mirror finish almost perfect. As expected of chromium are also scratch resistant, durable and will last for years. Using ABS chrome BMW probably also helps keep the cost of products lower chromium.

Market products based on plastic chrome does not seem to be able to reproduce the original quality BMW products of the same nature. The arrival on the number of them can be described as average, while some are not suitable for sale, in my opinion. These are products that have the plastic chrome on the concept of a bad reputation.

Most sellers are not mentioned in the description of the product is a chrome plated plastic, and that scares away customers, who are often wrong that the quality will be poor. In fact, some mistakenly assume that a product like a plastic base that you can not chrome.

Because many manufacturers of spare parts are so bad in the game chrome plastic, it is perhaps why they are now using other metals.

These are metals that look like bright, chromium, but they are stainless steel, polished steel, brushed aluminum and nickel to name a few. These products are generally described as “chrome style and do the job very well. BMW including the use of nickel for its range of keyrings.

Finally, there are elements that are painted with a chrome or silver paint. In my experience, they should be avoided because I’ve never seen any of them with a finish that is far from the required quality.
