I am really starting to like the poplar trim in my 550. The only question now is what to do about a shift knob and e-brake. I have the light up ///M shifter from my M3 which is all one piece with the shift boot and looks really nice. I have not tried it yet but I am pretty sure that it won't fit into the opening on my 550 unless I remove the plastic bezel and glue the boot to one that fits my car. No big deal at all. If I decide I want it to light up, it's also not a problem. Or, I have an AC Schnitzer Short Shift knob (real deal) that I used in my M3 and loved. Only problem is that I think the aluminum shifter won't match my wood trim too well. If I use it I will also buy an ACS e-brake handle. Option #3 is to buy a wood shifter and e-brake handle. Option # 4 is of course to leave it alone and save some time and a bit of money, too. Suggestions??

PS: What about aluminum pedals?? Had them in my M3 and loved them, especially when driving barefoot which I tend to do all summer.
