The first M550 I looked at was CBM with Mocha. I think I would have bought it if they offered me what I wanted on the trade. So glad I didn't, Mocha looks good on the lighter colors like white, champagne, etc. I would not have liked it on a CBM (blue) car.

My 2019 540xi has the Cognac interior with the 4LG Burl Walnut Trim, a combination which I like a lot. Not the best picture but you get the idea. And I am a Grandpa, so the shoe fits.... --Bob

Ha…I also have Burled Walnut Grandad trim, makes the interior feel warm & cosy
Also note the steering wheel is on the RIGHT (correct) side

Love it, I just can't seem to identify with wood that doesn't shine. Yeah, that steering wheel is all fucked up.

Mate…when we pass on-coming strangers on the left it leaves our sword arm towards the passer-by, hence steering wheel being on the correct side

I have to say I "warmed up" to it when I saw it in person...it's doesn't do a great job looking true to form in most photos, but it is rather nice in person.

Yeah I agree, when I saw the for sale pics of my G31 I was sure that I’d be swapping out the wood for Rhombicle Aluminium but when I saw it ‘in the flesh’ I decided that I rather liked it

What are you doing with the Piano black? I’d possibly be interested.

Personal opinion, but the interior offerings were better pre-LCI. Burl was on the menu, as was merino.

[QUOTE=Edi;31076434]Replaced the boring Piano Black interior trim with Fine Wood open-pored Ash Grain trim
Where'd you buy the trim? I need to do the same thing in mine. |

I was searching for over a year for a complete set. Currently they're in storage. I'm still debating if I'll sell them or not. |

If you decide to sell them, please PM me and let me know what you’re thinking. I wouldn’t go buy it all new or from an unknown source on eBay, but if there’s a good forum member selling then I might bite.

In for service and I was right (is that good?)… coolant expansion tank being replaced. I told them I suspected a leak and they looked and confirmed.
Also recommending I need front brakes and tires (4mm). I’d rather do the tires all at once, so I may see if I can’t juice another month or so out of them.
