Hi Axis,
Unfortunately, I don't have pics available but from what I recall the pentan alu trim was set "by default" on M kit equiped E60 cars begin 2008 (at least in Belgium).
It was looking as cheep "plastic coated" medium grey aluminum.
I didn't like it at all and it looked uggly with the chosen creambeige interior (my opinion), that's why I ordered my car with wood trims.

Cheers.

Etienne

I didn't check on other BMW sites but if you go on www.bmw.be, click on "Car configurator", get a 5 serie and equip her with "Kit M Sport" (special editions & packs), you'll have the pentan alu trims by default.
Then, just take a closer view on the inside...

The pictures don't show too clearly what looks like exactly. It's aluminium with like a fine raised surface, like honeycomb. Zoom right in on the pics to see it more clearly Hope that helps
