New interior trim suggestions

steve@codemybimmer · 02-05-2014, 12:40 AM

Anyone have any suggestions on which trim would look good on my luxury line with saddle brown leather?

Right now, I'm using the wood trim pieces and I really don't like how the acrylic gets scratched up so easily.

I was thinking of changing it out for something that's mat and not glossy but I don't want the black M performance or Carbon Fiber ones because they totally won't match my interior.

Hmm. Luxury line and wood trim kind of go together on my mind. (Of course I ordered an M Sport with wood trim, so my views may be a little off.)

Maybe your subconcious is trying to tell you that you really want a sport line?

I'm selling all of my silver Hex trim pieces... (M-Sport so blue finishers on the dash pieces)

I did a little bit of browsing on ebay and it seems like the cheapest are the M Performance ones ironically.

If I can get an idea of how this looks on a saddle brown interior and it doesn't look too bad maybe I'll get it.

I'm really tired of the gloss with all the swirls and scratches getting onto it.

Ok, this guy installed it to his baseline with the tan interior and it doesn't look bad at all.

My saddle brown is darker so maybe it'll work. Can't go wrong when it's $650.

The M4 and M3 that are coming out look to have glossy CF in some of the shots we have seen.

Go custom! Opt the wood with silver highlight, then leather (or vinyl) wrap the upper (wood) portion to taste.
