Great job!
A little to dark for my taste, but I love how covering the centre console helps the flow of the interior trims -- that's something BMW should have done from the start IMHO.

Nice Job. It takes a lot of laying out and looking at how the patterns will play out when determining which way you will go...especially where there are curves.
I did this on mine also with the 3M DINOC. I stuck to only the parts that had OEM wood trim in the front and rear and, IMHO, less is more in this case.
If you start wrapping everything, it becomes overkill and is no longer an accent to the car, but rather a theme.
I do think the steering wheel has possibilities. The lower left is looks good because of the direction. The right should be a mirror image (opposite) of that one.
Then, I found that it looks best where opposing trim meets if you try to make a chevron design with the CF where the two meet.
Personally, I liked the way the brushed aluminum on the steering wheel plays off of the CF, because I think the complement each other... so I left the steering wheel alone.
Also, I can tell you, if you mod your interior lighting to 6000k White LED, it looks awesome against the CF at night... all of the black does actually
