Looks like they put the light Poplar trim on the dash and dark poplar everywhere else. We had a 335ci come in with Cream beige interior, light wood on the doors, Gray wood on the dash. Certainly a warranty issue.

I am convinced the Germans are color blind. Look at some of the dreadful color combinations on Porsches in the past.

I'm new to this, but I just pickup my 2008 535i and notice a big difference in the color tones of the wood trim. It looks like the very same problem that [b]Rutto had with his wood. I'm going to try to upload the pictures...hopefully this works. I'm going to bring to this the attention of the dealer. I'm hoping the dealer agrees with me that needs to be corrected.

Please give me your guys opinions.

The color is definately off - it should be like this if you have Dark Poplar wood :
