Yeah sg530 ....I know. I wish there were more pics of the Feinschliff from various angles and distances, and with different interior colors. I think it's a good thing for you since it looks like you have a rare and unique car. By the way, do you have any other pictures of the various trim panels in different angles and distances , or are the two above the only pics you have?

I took many pictures, but only a few were publishable. I culled a few more from the collection. I reduced the resolution to make it load faster. I prefer flash-less pictures but many of them have a slight camera shake because the exposures are over a second. Thius is the only way to capture the colors and reflections. I took flash pictures but the metal turns white if normal to the camera and black if at any angle to the camera axis. I have been busy and only got back today.
Somehow the program posted twice.
I am cutting pics from this one and allowing the next to stay.......

Notice both doors are in picture in full sunlight. The others were made inside dark garage.

Thanks a lot sg530. These definately help. I still have not decieded for sure whether I will get the Feinschliff or the Cube, but I am going to London in August for work and after work is done I will go to Munich for a few days. I am hoping that I will be able to see both the Feinschliff and the Cube in person either in London or in Munich and be able to make a final decision then.
Thanks Again...

How long did it take to re and re the door handle trims? My parts should be going on in early August when I get back to Singapore, so I can't wait.

Took aproximately a day to re re trim. If I was less of a perfectionist, the dash trim parts I could have done myself, but the doors require air bag techniques and if it was easy for me to do the dash, it would be easy for them too. This way, they pay for damaged trim which is expensive. 
Notice too that the plastic above the console is a good match for the metal trim and there is little need to replace that otherwise cheap plastic due to the color scheme inside my car (grey).
I see from the m5 post that the trim is essentially the same as mine.
