I have yet to have any luck finding a nice, legitimate wood kit for an E60 to add more wood to the interior of the car that would actually match the factory wood. I actually wouldn't even need a whole wood kit, just a few more pieces. For the rear of the center console around the power outlets and such. Also the area between the cd slot/air controls and the center console, it's definitely lacking wood. How do I go about getting just a few more pieces of matching wood?

Another though I had today while in my car, the F10 interior if I recall correctly, has a thin strip of aluminum/stainless steel that runs parallel with the wood in the car. I feel like that would look nice in the strip of wood across the e60's dash as well. Anyone know how it could be done?

I'm not looking for any specific BMW part, because I don't think BMW made a stock part to fit what I'm looking for. I'm really just looking for more wood pieces or a wood kit to fit my car.

Also another option I've been tossing around in my mind, how easy is it to completely change out the wood in the car for another color/type of wood. I have the gray anthracite and it looks pretty blah against gray interior. How cheap do yall think I could find wood from perhaps a wrecked E60?

I have just changed my aluminium cube pure for poplar wood and it looks pretty good against my grey interior, the kits are mega expensive new from the dealers but you might get lucky from a scapped E60.
