Chrome window trim?

I'm not sure I totally I agree with this. While totally blacked-out is probably not going to come stock from a manufacturer, black (or at least dark) rims are definitely an option these days from a lot of manufacturers as they seem more and more popular. (Plus wheel are easy because they can put on at final delivery)
My 2006 BMW 3 series had black window trim. It wasn't an individual option though. BMW actually saved the bright window (and grill slats) for the higher spec'd versions. I liked the black better. The kindey opening of the grill and model decals were the only chrome.

The only substantial chrome on the 3 will be the windows (and the connecting bit on the mirrors) They could certainly have an option for this to be dark, (we've already seen it) I just don't think they will in order to keep configuration options to a minimum.

Plus now most sport options are either blacked out by default or can be had with a package like the Audi black optics package on their S cars.

People have different tastes. I think the refreshed fascia with the Snidley Whiplash mustache is ugly. On the other hand, I think the clean Model 3, with no mustache, looks good.

i would choose this look over the refresh
i guarantee if they were parked side by side the vast majority of on lookers would pick........SNOOPY 4 the win :cool::D
I agree with you. I am not a fan of the Tesla "stache" on the S/X either. In my opinion, the nose on the TM3 is going to be the best looking of the bunch. But, would I turn down an S if the opportunity presented itself? Of course I would take it.
