I chose the dark bamboo but the brushed look could look better - does anyone have pictures? is it a tough surface like the bamboo? (have it now)

The exterior will be white...

thanks

It's only the most common interior combination there is! I'm sure you'll have no probs finding examples...

Mine's got the brushed aluminium on black leather:

No dents or scratches yet - but from what I've read, it is easier to damage than dark bamboo...

I have brushed aluminum with black interior.
I was one of the ones saying that it didn't get dents or scratches at first, but after having it for a year the trim is pretty beat up. It has many many dents and scratches all over it.

My father has a Z4M with brushed aluminum, and it's scratched excessively. He keeps hitting the console area with the seat belt buckle trying to put his seat belt on. The other spot is the ignition key area. He has 2 other BMWs and both of those have the wood trim, and his view is that brushed aluminum is a lot worse to maintain than the wood trim.

He's going to get the panels that were scratched this year for $$$.

I was at the dealer this morning and planned on asking about this, but forgot. I will ask when I go to pick my car up tomorrow.
