Andy, seen your Interior Trim live, must say, great job. I like the ala 6 series 
center console.
I can advise this to every E60 owner.
I am not a fan of wood trims (unless you are 80+)

- let me put it this way --> if you try to scratch it you will probably lose a fingernail first...if you do it correctly: sand down, prime, multiple thin coats + a couple of clear coats - it will outlast your car !
see you at the meet : have a look for yourself !!

Now you need the M5 smg knob.
He needs SMG transmission (and not only for the stick, that is magnificent) and Dynamic Drive Control

My climate control mask has a little scratch, so I'm thinking about doing this mod in Jet Black.
What do you think? Making current Poplar wood trim lighter or go with Jet Black? My interior leather colour is Auburn.
