(from bmwusa.com)
I should have specified that the color of my wood is actually darker and more gray in person than in photos due to the flash. It's much grayer than in the photos. I have a better picture on my other computer. I'll post it later today.

I haven't compared my gray maple against the newer gray poplar but I would have to say that poplar is darker. I really, really like my gray wood with the gray interior. I matches so much better with the gray leather and black dash than dark poplar. If you can source a complete set fairly cheap, it's worth doing. I like that it's probably the only or one of a few pre-04's with that color wood.

EDIT: Here's a better picture.
