Very nice but it shows every touch mark. Perhaps velour cloth might be better.

I think the black alcantara(suede) looks great, lots of guys with e46's have this done. This I believe is also factory in some of the M cars isn't it? I also test drove a Lexus ISF and lots of its interior was done in black alcantara, looked and felt great.

Actually, one of the members on here have done this already.

The guy I did the Orion v2's did his, and it was really nice.

My Ride: 04 545i sport, stick, L7, sat, nav. Charcoal/ runflat/ cdv delete. Suede headliner/ trunk, 3 way front speakers, four 8" subs in rear shelf, ACM, iPod dock in ash tray using gateway 500 with MP3 text and video on screen, MRTM aluminum pedals/ door pins, 10 farad cap, sound processor, line conditioner, 2 amps ( 4x100 and 2x200)

The suede headliner of the M5 adds a touch of luxury that is really missing from the non M cars. You should go for it. I did mine 3 years ago in titanium suede, it has held up very well despite the light color. ( no stains or wear marks yet ).
