I'm struggling with my interior choice. I've heard the Aluminum trim referred to as 'cheap looking', and I don't really like aluminum anyways - too cold. The Madeira Walnut trim looks like my best bet, but everytime I've seen it, the appearance is like varnished pine. It just looked godawful in the Detroit car, and I haven't seen a really good combination yet.
I like the lighter Olive Carrera, but it's a wild color and pattern, and I haven't seen it with an interior that really clicks. I'm at the point now where I'd prefer the Silverstone II exterior, but I'll go with Sapphire Black if the interior doesn't go with Silverstone.
And of course, Individual is a 'maybe' on the US M5's.
Anyone out there have an interior combo they really love?

I remember you were done with black and were going tutonic with your Emmy. Silver or Grey. So that just leaves you with Grey back or..... Do they have a Red interior???. Since you do not like the aluminium (me neither) have you thought of piano black for the interior wood trim. I have no idea what will be available in the US.
Also curious as a fellow 6speeder are you going to SMG? The manual looks like it will definately be made.

I would have to go with Sapphire Black if I go with either the olive carrera of the Madeira Walnut. My favorite would be the olive/natural brown iterior (below). If I can get the Piano Black, I'll go with Silverstone all around.
As far as SMG goes, I'm going to give it a shot, since I'm no. 1 on the list. I'll get back on the dealer's list for the manual, and If I don't like the SMG, I should be able to sell/trade in the SMG without taking too much of a hit.
