So I picked up my 2005 530i Silver gray metallic/Black leather and it came with the Poplar grain wood trim. I ordered the Anthracite Maple wood trim but the dealer F'd up. I obviously had to take the car because you can't get 05's any longer and I needed a car. The car has 50 (FIFTY) miles on it. With all due respect to the people on this board who have the poplar wood, I just can't stand it. I ordered the Anthracite for a reason. I knew what I liked. Needless to say, I was VERY disappointed. Is there anyone out there that wants Poplar wood trim and has the Anthracite Maple trim to give me? If not, tell me how much it would be to replace the wood with either stainless trim or the wood I ordered. Thanks very much for all of your help. I appreciate it, and don't flame me for disliking the poplar wood. It's cool, it's just not me. Thanks.

One would think so, but not in this case. Supposedly, the exact car I wanted to order was already at the port so I just took that one never really discussing the color of the wood on that car. Technically, you could say I F'd up and not them. They aren't being pricks about it. They seem to be sensitive to my issue but they're certainly not going to spend $1000 + or whatever it costs to replace it.

Sorry to hear that.
I think the Poplar looks more appropriate with lighter shades of leather. In my case, I've got the beige interior with the Poplar wood trim. I don't think the Anthracite would be a good match with beige leather seats.
On the other hand, the Anthracite trim looks good with black leather seats and makes a good match.
Does anyone have pics of Anthracite with beige? Just curious.
