Interior Trim Advice, pls.

ras912 · 01-20-2011, 08:37 PM

I am finalizing an order for a 535 in Dark Graphite. I've decided on black interior as I thught the oyster/black combo might be a little too much for me. I need help on the interior trim -- leaning towards anthracite as I think it'll best blend with the black dash and black interior as opposed to the dark wood which might look out of place in the car's dark interior. Any opinions? Thanks

Anthracite should goes well with your combo. I have this and it is gorgeous.

To go with more contrast, aluminum is also nice with your black interior.

I personally have anthracite and absolutely love it....definitely the way to go if you're getting a dark interior and want wood. I will be honest though..... if I wasn't given such a great deal on my F10, I would've ordered one with the aluminum trim.

We also ordered an Anthracite headliner to go along with the black leather and dark wood. It looks elegant.

My wife didn't like the aluminum trim on M-sport, so we ordered anthracite. I'm hoping it will go well with all-black interior...

I also went with the black leather and anthracite and it looks great!

I ordered the Black Interior and Light Wood Trim. In my opinon it makes for more contrast as compared to the regular wood and makes the interior space seem bigger. I really like it and have no regrets at all.

I have oyster/black combination and I absolutely love it as is gives the interior a nice open ambience, plus it really shows off the door capping down-lights at night.
I also have the anthracite wood and the whole effect exudes class.
Of course, that's just my personal opinion, but everyone who's been in the car agrees wholeheartedly.

I have anthracite dash with black leather interior, and also ordered the anthracite headliner in my carbon black 2011 F10 550. This is very subjective, but it is IMHO the best looking combination.
