I eventually want to match the wood trim on my E60. I would like it to match this DCT shifter. What color is it? Brushed aluminum? Titanium? I doubt it's chrome.

What dash trim matches the DCT shifter?-dctc2.jpg

What dash trim matches the DCT shifter?-dctntrim.jpg

Incidentally, what color is the dash trim on the 2nd pic?

Thanks!

Thanks! I agree about the green LED. However, I found this page showing how to take the DCT shifter apart. I'm sure the LED could be modded. I would do blue.

Balbs,

I currently have the dark poplar wood. I guess it's the same as the wood on the first pic. I also have Dakota black interior. I want to change out all the wood trim to something lighter in order to add more contrast and lighten up the interior of the car. Your sig says that you have the brushed aluminum trim. Do you have any pics?
