 Aluminum trim on E90s



Hey all, when I first saw the "build" your car option on BMW website, I thought the aluminum trim looked high tech and cool

anyways I didnt think about it much, but the car I found that I wanted has aluminum trim, but its not in a dealer yet (the car has the exact colors / specs I wanted, except it has aluminum trim which I didnt think about much)

Has anyone seen the aluminum trim firsthand? I generally dont like the look of wood trim in cars unless its like a jaguar or bentley....

but

The car would be sparkling graphite, black leather, aluminum trim, just wondering what it would look like firsthand? because I havent't seen it, kinda cautious about ordering it without seeing it, but I did anyways

It's a very nice quality trim. It's real metal, has kind of a rough look to it with a touch of shine... and it feels smooth for the most part. I've seen it in person and I think it's a viable alternative to wood. If you like wood, get wood. If you like metal trim, this is an excellent choice. I'm getting the aluminum on my car.

I am not a wood trim person either, so I ordered the aluminum. IMO I think your combo is going to look good.

It is really nice looking trim, it is preferred over the wood trim in my opinion. The dealer found cars that fits my specs but with wood trim, although it saves me 2 months of waiting, I still declined it and ordered the car in aluminum trim.

That's the exact combo I have, and I'm very happy with it. I ordered the car hoping for a high-tech look that would be more sleek and sporty, and that is how it looks.

I also like the classic look of tan/beige leather with wood trim, but to me, that combo leans more toward luxury and is better suited to 5/7 series cars.

Of course, it all comes down to personal preference. Get what you love, and you'll love what you get!
