Dont use the fabric. Instead use 3M Di-NOC vinyl instead. CA-421 is the best looking.

lol I've thought about trading mine since it seems so in demand, however, the fact that it is in such high demand makes me wanna keep it...even though i like the wood trim much better

Are you asking me? Yes it's the brushed aluminum but I like mine. I was thinking you and BMWPower06 could trade but doesn't look like he's willing to either. Maybe you can post on M5Board to see if anyone else would like to trade.

Yeah but how do I know which model I have bc in both pics the interior looks exactly the same

The LCI came out around March 2007 in Europe. The easiest way to tell what you have is the positioning of the wood trim on the front doors;

- pre-LCI: the trim is on the inside door handle strip
