Trim Choice: to retrofit

I want to replace the Dark Sycamore wood trim that's currently in my X3, and put in either the Brushed aluminium (post-facelift), dotted-pattern aluminium, or Matte Gray trim. My interior is gray.

Right now, I'm leaning towards the Matte Gray simply because it looks very good in the DIY pictures, and costs WAY less. For instance, a single door pull costs $19,53 versus $91 for either of the aluminiums. But I'm concerned that it might feel cheap. I've never seen the Matte trim in person; the 118i had a different version I think.

So, what do y'all think? This is especially directed towards international members, since I know a lot of Americans like their interiors to look like 16th century Victorian furniture.

Now:


Titan Matte (from this DIY)



Aluminium Wolkenschliff (dotted-pattern, sorry its black interior)





And the Brushed Aluminium (post-facelift; obviously I'm only getting the door handles and centre console)
