Ceramic Dials - Yay or Nay?
I just ordered them to be included on my new 5er. I have seen them in pictures (where I thought they looked great), but never in real life. Anyone here who has seen them up close? How do they make the car look and feel?
Thanks in advance! |

The ceramic controls make the car look richer. I would get them if I was ordering a car.

IMO it depends on the trim. If you have dark wood trim, I would go with the ceramic dials. I have the aluminum hexa trim on my LCI and the regular aluminum dials work well.

Thanks a lot for your thoughts. I really appreciate the insight.
I went with the Dakota black with anthracite wood trim and ceramic controls. Still a few weeks away from receipt of the car, but I can't wait to see it. Hope I made a good selection! |

I have them in my 2013 535i. Just the touch is worth it for something used very frequently!

Another "yay" vote. Such a small price for a nicer look and much better feel.

CC make the interior look better. The regular ones look so cheap imo. BMW should include this option to every 5 series at no extra charge since this is a luxury car.

Have them on my car - they're very nice, you won't regret it. I wish there were more of them in the cabin, but the ones that get the treatment will certainly stand out to you!

I've had the standard silver and now ceramic. I do agree the ceramic does make the interior look nicer I don't however notice how they feel any different from the regular silver. Maybe you need to touch them side by side to notice. Wish for $650 they included more parts being ceramic.
