Thanks so much for posting. It is a very nice looking option. I have a 2002 540i black on black six speed now and am simply ready for a change from the black.
Oddly, with the manual transmission, you lose much of the wood around the shifter. A bit of a shame given how good looking your car is. This isn't the case with my 02. Not a reason to go with a different transmission, but kind of strange.
In the US, there is no oyster/oyster option, only oyster/black, Seems to make sense to me - most dirt comes in on your feet.
