I thought the E39 section of trim types need some cleaning up to get rid of misconceptions and add in a few new pictures of trim that has yet been found outside of Realoem!
I've been working on refurbishing many E39 trim sets and along with that I have come across many interesting ones.
Some of the old threads have had mislabeled & double labeled sets, so I wanted let out all of what I've found.
Along with the thread I wanted to include Common name (if any), English name, and German name. Along with a link to RealOEM and short description.
If you spot any inconsistencies please let me know... I put a bit more emphasis on the more rare sets.
