To each his own, but I think the anthracite bamboo is very classy. Your color selection should be stunning: blk sapphire, blk leather, anthracite bamboo.
Excellent photos but they just don't pick up the beauty of the bamboo trim. Go for it.

I went in wanting to order the bamboo anthracite, but after seeing it in person I was not impressed. I went with the light poplar wood trim for some contrast with the black leather and anthracite headliner.
I'm not a big fan of light wood trims. Even though there's not much contrast with the Anthracite and black leather I prefer the all-around dark interior look.

I've was resonably pleased with the Bamboo. I really didn't want a dash full of wood. I would have like piano black trim, but that's not available to me, so the anthracite will have to do.

I really haven't picked up a greenish cast, but I've hardly driven the car in enough light conditions to be certain.

All a matter of personal preference. At a minimum you should look at all the options in person.

My 535xi should be in by the middle of this week. I ordered the Bamboo Anthracite trim but I'm sort of having second thoughts on it. I really liked it at first and when I ordered it but now I think the Dark Poplar Wood Grain trim looks nice too. Leather is black.

What do you think?
Have black leather w/ bamboo anthracite and anthracite headliner. It's all fantastic. My wife didn't see if before I ordered and she loves it too. I've received multiple compliments on it (and I can't believe people would go out of their way to say something about it).

I personally do not like the anthracite wood. As most of you know I've ordered 2 cars and had 2 opportunities to order the anthracite wood and both times I stuck with the Dark poplar. What I really find beautiful is the dark piano black wood. If I could have ordered that here in the states I would have.

Here is a link to other color combos:

Here is a link with photos of my car. In the set there should be one with the interior and the dark poplar wood.

I agree, I would have liked the piano black trim as well. Maybe if we are adventurous we can follow in this guy's footsteps and convert ours to piano:

I have black high gloss trim as an alternative to the standard (in UK M Sport cars) brushed aluminium. This was a ?0 cost option.

I think it looks great and suits my interior better than the wood trims.
