Cognac interior trim
Just ordered an M550 in carbon black with the Cognac interior and aluminum trim.
Now having second thoughts on aluminum trim... Called the dealer, car not in production yet, can still change it. Torn between: Fine ridge wood Fine line cove Matte Grey poplar Any suggestions and/or pictures would be appreciated! Thanks! |

With Cognac I would go with either the ridge wood or cove matte.
Depends on whether you prefer the glossy finish or the wood like finish. I have an M550 with the ridge wood and a 330 with the open pore maple which is similar to the cove matte. The glossy finish of the fine ridge shows more dust and fingerprints. Of the two, I prefer the non glossy finish. |

Here you go. Keep in mind, this is on a 330i and not available on the 5 series. The fine line cove matte will be the closest to it. Also on this one the wood grain runs vertically, whereas on the cove matte it runs horizontally. |

Cognac interior trim
I have a 2021 540. Black interior Nappa leather with the fine line ridge wood trim and I love it.
If I went with the mocha nappa leather or cognac I would probably go with fine wood open pore ash grain with that grey color. I think the dark and lighter contrast would look nice. But for 1k more on the 550 why not just spring for the nappa.? On the 540 it's like 3500 but that includes the ventilated seats. |

Grey popular is nice , despite it being wood it isn't obvious it's wood ie it's not a shade of brown
Not sure if that goes with your cooour scheme , piano black would arguably work with the usual caveat of keeping it clean and scratch free |

I have Carbon Black with Cognac on my 2019 540xi with Burl Walnut wood trim, and I love it. The Burl Walnut gives a classic and understated look and I really like it. So aluminum or gray would not be my choice, but lots of folks like it. Is Burl Walnut still available? --Bob

Well, since you asked...
1) stick with your original aluminum trim choice- aluminum looks totally great in a sport sedan. 2) fine line cove matte Avoid the old man glossy brown wood stuff.

I have the fineline matte cove trim with the mocha seats. Perfect combo. I wanted the aluminum but was worried it would clash with the mocha seats.

It gets very dusty quickly due to the gloss. I ordered a 2021, carbon over cognac, with fine line cove matte. No dust issue and in my opinion the matte is a more modern finish. |

Not a fan of any of the brown wood-looking trims - just my humble opinion!

Here is a photo of the Fineline Ridge Wood Trim with the blue ambient lighting and the Mocha Nappa interior. The ultra wide photo has a bit of distortion and looks slightly worse. Look at the closer up photo for higher quality. I noticed that this trim worked great with all ambient lighting colors, unlike the other trims. I actually saw Cognac and Fineline Ridge some time ago and it looked amazing! Sadly I didn't get a photo of it because I saw it was before this thread came out. I would highly recommend the Fineline Ridge!

I found these photos online of Cognac with Fineline Ridge. Hopefully this helps! I love this combo. Looks great!
