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.

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 ).

The alcantara headliner is available on M vehicles but can be ordered for non Ms as well
