The picture from M5 looks too cold with UFO knob and without wood trim.

personally, I dont like the M5 knob. I prefer the leather insert. the M5's doesnt look elegant at all for a luxury car. But..WTH..the car itself is a beauty!!! 
just my 2 cents..
just my 2 cents..

I think even the old iDrive knob MY04 to MY05 with the indents look better... just wish it was metal and not plastic.

[/quote]I guess it is plastic covered with Ruthenium metal. the reason for this is when on the cold/hot day the idrive seems to attract cold and hot temperature very much. Just like metal's characteristics

There's a reason (or least i hope there is) why the knob is plastic
- in hot weather at least it's not going to heat up
can you imagine a metal knob - here in the tropics - you may get scalded
each time you "ACCEPT" the legal notice on startup after leaving your car out in the sun
