Interior trim preferences

What are folks opinions on the interior trim choices available. I have the light brown wood trim which is my least favourite of the options. Is there a generally recognised favourite or least favourite? My first choice would generally be the piano black wood i suppose!

Personally I can't abide woodgrain in modern cars unless it's a Roller or you've reached the end of your days and want a Jag.

My previous 2 BMWs had Piano Black (which is an Individual and expensive option) and the one before that had the carbon effect trim; the 50d has the M specific silver ally thingamajig trim.

Just had a look on the net and the AC Schnitzer trim is about £1500! Is your x5 an AC Schnitzer or did you add the bits afterwards? Certainly seems a well loaded car!

I had Dark Poplar on the E53 and have Dark Bamboo on the X6.  As with all these things it's a personal preference.  I can't abide the Aly trim or the piano black - it makes it look like another Ford.  They're full of silver or shiny black plastic....

There are those that like, and those that don't......each to their own. :)

Mine is silver cant remember the official trim name now but I like paino black. Wood a bit OAP for my liking albeit the dark wood better to my eye than light poplar or whatever its called.
