What does your interior look like originally? Is it all light like the picture LessIsMore put up, or is it like mine?
Original:
Almost done with my carbon fiber swap:
I preferred the two tone black and 'Sepang Merino Leather' over the all black of my 550i. The light wood trim was what killed it in my M. I wanted either piano black or carbon fiber, and in the end decided on the carbon. I may get an extra trim set later down the road and play with more options (piano black with maybe a pinstripe accent color) that I could swap out once every few months.
Another option I came across recently that surprised me was covering the trim in Alcantara leather. It looked surprisingly good.

If the question was posed to my carbon fiber wrapped trim, it still looks beautiful. I had an A/C panel wrapped in CF that should be arriving this week. I think it will tie in the other pieces nicely.
