Hexagon vs. Dark Wood Trim

ezmaass · 03-25-2014, 04:16 PM

Don't like the look of the hex. I got the anthracite on my 550xi... and it's stunning in person - dark, rich, and classy. I think it makes the interior also feel "warmer." As some others have said, the hex just feels a bit too "cold" to me.

That said, it's obviously also personal choice, like colors. At the end of the day, none of our opinions really matter... what matters is what you want to stare at while in the car... some may prefer purple velvet if it were an option!

Everyone, thanks for the feedback. You all have very good points.

Have only had it for a month, so I'll have to see.

i have the black high gloss trim and I think this is really good as under most lighting conditions it almost looks like piano black trim and it goes really well with a light interior and the best of all, its standard equipment in my country

I wish I had hex over the dark wood I have.

I LOVE the hex in my black interior. The one drawback is that it gets hotter than hades in the summer, and colder than a witch's left t*t in winter!

I have a very rare/different setup, really haven't see this color at all in most of 5's & don't know the name. Anyone know? 535i xdrive luxury, it's a metallic gray'ish

voona · 01-13-2018, 02:07 PM

It is most likely 4DZ option, pearl dunkel color.

To me the Anthracite Wood Trim really makes the interior feel much more luxurious.

I've got the dark ash trim in my current (soon to be replaced) 520d and I think it suits the car. Definitely recommend the dark wood, although perhaps aluminium trim suits the m-sport a little more.

I like the anthracite with black so that's what i got on my 535i

The aluminum hex looks much better in person, doesn't show scratches, and is easy to clean.
Every car in the world has goofy wood interior...aluminum looks special and very high end. CF accessories inside really bring it out too.

I'll trade you my piano black for your hex any day lol
