If God had wanted us to put wood in our BMW's he's have put dangly brass door handles, architrave mouldings around the dashboard and door shuts on the options list! Wood's OK for sideboards, wardrobes, dining tables or in old sports cars. 
If you decide to stay in the 21st Century there are problems with BMW Aluminium trim (of any kind) though - it's prone to damage in everyday use. Drop your keys on it, or generally touch it with anything hard / metallic like a wrist watch or bracelet and you will damage it!!! Such damage is not repairable and each piece of trim is very expensive to replace.  |
Absolutely agree don't get the fake wood look at all, nothing sporty about wood. Everyone to their own I guess but the alu hex or piano black (I had this in my MY12 640d and it marks very easy) are the best options for the sporty look IMO
