Here's an upclose picture. I've done plenty of trim wraps, let me know if you have any questions. Also CF vinyl will look horrible on your window trim.

I'd stick with black, as that's what the E90 and E92 have from the factory.

Just do black. The CF weaves likely wouldn't match up, and "fake" cf on the exterior of cars is atrocious.

Okay Black it is, but matte or gloss with Jet Black.

Since the grill is gloss black, I should match this, Gloss Black it is.

I think the mirror trim is matte black on the convertibles.. You may want to match that more than the grill.
