Hi Iceman,
I see that your car received an additional wooden trim for the lower part of the central console. That's EXACTLY what I was desperately looking for since months;I feel that the standard console is rather ugly in this area and will greatly benefit from an embellishment. Can you give details about the product you installed? Who is the manufacturer? How can I buy it?
Many thanks for your reply.

Yep, Rudy is right.
It's original BMW, standar on 2005's. I had my dealer order and retrofit it, and probably switch it again soon...

[/quote]The new part which comes out March. The black plastic surroundings of the CD/NAV slots and climate control is painted with soft-paint, what makes it look better. Currently planning on switching all parts, but have to wait for pricing infos fom the dealer.

My car has all the updates in that pic, except the ruthenium A/C vent levers. Even have the leather handbrake grip, even though pic says 03/05.
