Ash Grain Black With Bronze Effect MatteFinish - Is This It?
We're going with the Cognac Vernasca leather on our X7 and before it goes into production I am in a bit of a panic over the wood trim choice. In the YouTube video (top photo) there is a black trim that I really like which is shown with the extended individual interior against Tartufo leather. So when I go to the BMW configurator, the only choice with Tartufo Extended Marino that makes logical sense to me from the crude renderings is Ash Grain Black With Bronze Effect MatteFinish. But that YouTube clip makes the trim look glossy, not matte. If the trim in the YouTube video is indeed Ash Grain Black With Bronze Effect MatteFinish then I think I'm in luck as it's available for Cognac Vernasca. Can anyone clarify? Link to the YouTube video is here (at 16:43): If the trim in the video is not Ash Grain Black With Bronze Effect MatteFinish, anyone know what it is? I really appreciate all the help. |

How do you like the Black Ash Grain? Any propensity towards scratching or anything else you can share? Was there a reason you chose that over some of the gloss finishes? |

I appreciate the inputs, guys. All my previous Bimmers have been with black leather and brushed aluminum trim. I'd even be open to aluminum trim on the X7 if it were available, but maybe it's best not on a jumbo SUV. So the black matte with bronze effect is one of my top choices. Having seen it in person, it looked good, but haven't seen it with black leather yet.

FWIW, the ash grain matte with bronze effect has become my favorite existing trim. I'm still checking out the new black wood with aluminum inserts, but if I decide not to go with it, I'll be going with the bronze effect for sure.

I misspoke earlier. I went with the other matte finish which is more brown than grey. I really liked both but since I chose coffee interior the brown one was better for me. Had I chose black, this would def have been the choice. So nice.

I have the ash grain matte with bronze effect and I love it. BUT... where is the bronze effect? Lol. I don't see any bronze or color or anything. It looks like flat black grained wood to me.

What is disappointing is that samples are not available at dealership and when you really want to set your car you need to look in the net. For me this original post helped me to make decision. |

Yeah, I don't see it either, but... whatever. I like the way it looks. They can call it "happy fun rainbow unicorn vomit" color for all I care, as long as it looks good.

Haha. I thought about some bronze or gold paint paste... dab it on a rag and lightly wipe the wood. So it kinda catches the edges and highlights the grain more? Who wants to be the first to try it?
