Anthracite Headliner
I'm trying to decide if I should order an anthracite headliner for my 535i. Does anyone have pictures of this headliner in an f10? I am trying to also obtain a description of the color/fabric. I plan on ordering black leather sports seats and not sure if anthracite would make the inside feel "too dark.". Also, what color/fabric would the headliner arrive in if I do not order anthracite?
Thoughts?

As I did go for a light beige int, the white headliner don't bother but
in my '99 E46 320Ci the headliner was beige as the int. That was stylish.
I suppose a black int with tinted rear windows need the anthracite headliner
and the sporty look all the way.
See Scandic24's inside pic (I suppose more to come) with the standard white headliner:

The default headliner color is Oyster Gray, which does not look bad with black leather, but the black headliner (anthracite) looks FANTASTIC. Well worth the $500. As a matter of fact, that is the ONLY option I needed to order from the factory to have my car exactly as I wanted, and I waited 2 months just for that. Yes, it looks that much better.

I have the anthracite headliner on my 2008 550 with black leather and i like it a lot. It looks really beautiful and it doesn't give a feeling of being enclosed as some have suggested. When my lease is up in 2013 I will be getting another F10 or possibly the 6 Series 4 Door sport Coupe in Black Sapphire with the anthracite headliner for sure. I really like it.



This did not exactly answer his question about the anthracite headliner, its color and the headliner color if he did not get the anthracite headliner!!
