My Ride: 2008 535i, Deep Sea Blue/Brown Natural Leather, Premium Pkg, Sport Pkg, Cold weather Pkg, SAT paddles, NAV, Comfort Access, Logic7, HDRadio, IPod
Currently 2002 Dodge Durango Silver/Grey interior
I just recently took delivery of a 2008 535i with the Natural Brown leather and light poplar trim. It is an amazing combo. I wasn't to sure about it either till I got the car. Its hard to grasp how well the colors complement each other with a camera. The flash washes out colors and makes the wood look to dark and the leather appear lighter than it really is.
I might be a little biased since I have that color combo though

What do you guys think about this color combo, personally i love it and might order it for my next car. I can't do beige interior, too light! I have seen quite a few with the beige leather ,but not natural brown.

I think I want to puke!
You Americans are really big on the wood trims - looks cheap and nasty in my opinion.
I can understand getting shiny wood trim in a 7-series, where the average age of the driver is 93 years. But seriously, in a 5-series, wouldn't you be better off with aluminium or piano black??
