Is it Alcantara? Does it include the door posts?

Thanks,

David

It is just the headliner in anthracite rather than grey, and yeah the pillars are in it too.

It's black; i.e. No stars out tonight. Dunno about the door posts. Would seem awfully dreary to me.

Cheers,

No it's great, so much better than the grey. Although I have the Panoramic roof which lets alot of light in when you want it.

Very nice, cosy and sporty.

Hi tegel, I see finally you're new baby arrived - very nice car too bad that the panoramic sunroof is not available on the sedan.
As soon as you get through the break-in period, I am curious to find a report on how the engine with the steptronic is behaving in the estate version.
For the anthracite headliner, I have noticed that the interiod has these small lights with red ambiance color build-in in the headliner, and also in the side doors which gives a nice atmosphere when it is pitch dark outside (you probably have to wait for that a few months for it to get pitch dark again up north )

Have fun

It's great. Much better than the grey inside my E39 or E53 that had black interior with the gray headliner. IMO it's a must have for Black or Auburn interiors.

Hi,
well, I am completely in love with this car. The engine seems good enough, I don't miss my 525i a bit. Also, the consumtion for the first 200 km is 8,0 l/100, mostly city (70%).

I expect it be even more responsive when I can rev it above 3500 rpm....but it will probably lose agains the 525i on the autobahn.

Fantastic car, 100 times better than the e39 (after 3 days of ownership)
