Fineline Wood Trim vs American Oak Wood Trim
Has anyone seen Fineline pure wood trim. Unlike other wood trims, this appears to be a not laminated or has typical glass look.
Is it pure wood trim? Which one look better from the below images? Fineline Pure Wood Trim: American Oak Wood Trim: |

If you google a bit, you should be able to see some real life images/videos of these two types of wood. The appearance of the config is too far off.
There you go: Oak: Pure Wood: |

Debating this myself. The pure wood looks cool, different, but I wonder if it has some level of coating to protect it, or if it will be prone to scratches.

I was going to get the pure trim for my Mocha interior but chickened out at the last minute. I was concerned that it would look too plasticky and went for the poplar trim instead. There was a pure trim available on the modern line 3 series when it came out and I heard it didn't look so good.

We're getting a black interior so I'm not sure it would look as good against black as with one of the tans or browns. But it seems like a cool, different option. Tough chance to take without seeing and feeling it in person though, so I will probably chicken out too (that and because of the black interior). |

We ordered the pure fineline wood trim with the mocha nappa design package - exterior is Carbon Black Metallic - M-Sport. After reading the forums getting a bit nervous how the pure fineline wood will turn out - i'm sure it will look great and having a mix of anthracite headliner, mocha nappa leather, piano black, and the wood should provide a nice layer...she didn't want the aluminum since we already have that in my 335is.

I went with Poplar as the other choices appear to have more aggressive wood grains with so many parallel lines. I liked the richness and uniqueness of popular.

Aluminum
I am debating going with the Aluminum over the poplar, going with black interior. Does the Aluminum looks cheap in person or slick and sporty?
Thoughts? |

the aluminum hexagon in M Sport looks more 'slick and sporty' than the regular aluminum. Not sure I would call the regular aluminum cheap, but the wood or aluminum hex definitely offer a more premium feel..

The 2014 x5 I saw at the dealership had hexagonal trim which has the aluminum look to it. My personal opinion is that it looked cheap. Everyone has different opinions on this though.

I have the aluminium with black Dakota leather with space grey exterior. Because it's a dark interior the aluminium 'lighten's' the car up. I like it and it has not scratched like I thought it might. At the end of the day it's a personal thing down to your taste.

If I redid the order I might go with the brown or mocha leather instead. |
