Which interior trim looks best with Lemon leather?

sarafil · 02-12-2006, 08:54 PM

So if one were to order a car with the Lemon interior, which trim would look best? I'm thinking that the Walnut would look very rich and classy, and the aluminum would also look good (and very modern). Anyone have any strong opinions here? How about some good pics that show the Lemon interior with the different trims?

I'm debating getting another E90 later in the year (if things go well) and if I do I'm going to push for a special order Lemon interior. Never too soon to start planning!

Why not just make a poll? so much easier....

either wood, no aluminum

I voted alu cause I have something similar.

The dark wood will look more luxurious and classy. The alu will look more sexy and sporty.

I eliminated aluminium first, because it makes the interior look too pastelly. It does, however, match the door handles, making for one less colour inside (a good thing).

Next to be ruled out was the walnut, because IMO it is too dark, almost invisible. Having said that, I had the walnut on my 530d (beige interior, two-tone dash) and was happy with it.

So, I kind of chose poplar by a process of elimination. It's different (many cars have dark wood, real or fake) and I think it complements the lemon well.

i don't like Wood in a car except in a Jag. But generally i don't like wood, but of course it is my personnal point of view for MY car.
In any case wood and Lemon is a combo that you won't see at any pit stop.
