I am going to take a European Delivery of a 2008 535i in July, so I have a few weeks more to finalize my decisions. My exterior color will be Platinum Gray. Currently I am planning on gray leather interior with the dark poplar wood trim.
But that is the color combination I have in my current 528i, and I am thinking I want a change. I'm usually not a big fan of black leather. But I think the gray leather with the black anthracite bamboo would look really sharp. It does on the BMW web page visualizer.
Does anyone have this combo? How do you like it? Got any pictures?

Hi I dont have the dark poplar I decided to go for the brushed aluminium. Here are a few of pics. Excuse the black mats provided by the lease co. They have been replaced with the new set in grey I found in the boot!
Cheers
Darren.

I don't know but with gray interior I don't think there is much of a decision. Both poplars are brown which matches absolutely nothing else on the entire car. I wouldn't consider anything but the bamboo.

I tend to agree with you that the brown matches nothing else as I have it currently configured, so that is why I was going with the dark brown. But I think the black bamboo really compliments the gray and black interior very well. I'm almost convinced.

My Ride: My 1st was an '06 530xi, Titanium Silver w/ gray dakota leather, sport pkg. & Nav.
Now my 2nd is an '08 650i CP, Space Gray, Blk Dakota, Sprt. Auto, HUD, Sprt. Pkg., Prem. Sound, High Beam Ast. & Comfort Access
I have gray Dakota with black anthracite maple in my '06. I really like the colors and the entire enterior, from the seat belts, steering wheel and dash all cooridnate nicely. Except for the wood's grain there is no real difference in the bamboo. I do not have any pics right now but if you like I can post some tomorrow.
