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.

All things considered, though, I don't really notice it that much when I'm driving, and I decided to offset the dark headliner and dark dashboard with a beige interior, so there's some contrast in the interior.

I have the anthracite headliner on my 2008 535 and really like it.
It actually makes it easier, imo, to concentrate on the road, especially at night. Everything inside is dark except for the lights.
I have heard though, that the F10 Anth headliner is a different material. More like a shiny, leathery appearance. Best to check that out first, as I would not like that, personally. I like the fabric material, or the suede like material in the Ms.

I appreciate everyone's thoughts. I am curious if anyone has pics or description of the anthracite headliner in the F10. At this point I think I'm leaning towards black graphite, black nappa sports seats and the anthracite headliner. I like the sporty look of this combo. The only concern I have is I live in Florida and it warm here. Hope the air works good!

The black int looks great in a light color car.
The AC is great on the new F10. Just get the extended version.
PS. Get 20" wheels or at least 19".

Funny how they don't yet have the M-sport package showing up on the 550i build your own. Right now, it just shows up on the X-drive version of the 550...
