Steve, it seems to me the only viable option left for you is to get carbon fibre trims. If you think Piano black is classy then CF will blow you away.

I doubt anyone is producing it for the X6 yet, but I'll see.

I'll do my best to see if I can live with the trim (assuming that BMW don't play ball), since I'd rather not let it spoil my enjoyment of the X6, but I'll see how I feel when its delivered at the weekend.

Good news is that BMW have agreed to replace my trim, so I've opted to fit the Dark Bamboo trim (as above) instead. Hopefully they will now sort out their brochures and spec sheets to bear some resemblance to reality.

Here's a picture of my car before it is delivered tomorrow.

Which is clearly NOT Dark..

It seems that Bamboo and Aluminium are the most popular trims, but I'm sure this Ash trim would look fine against Oyster or Beige leather

Hey LeMans,

Do you have any pics like the ones above with the Aluminum trim? I have yet to see one up close like that.
