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.

I like it in those pictures, but the problem when you see it is that it looks and feels like 'plastic' (in fact I think it is) and therefore cheaper than either wood or aluminium. I took a look at aluminum in an X6 yesterday and its nice, although cold to the touch so we'll stick with Bamboo.

I saw the trim only on small sample at the dealer, and that sample was fake - with that I mean that it was not the real trim as it is in the car, it was all plastic. And yes, that did look cheap. But as these pictures show, and as I can compare to what I have seen, on the pictures is REAL aluminium flywheel trim as to compared to samples. I have seen the aluminium in person as well, looks fine, but for such an unusual car it needs something special That's why I have made my decision : Oyster + Aluminium Flywheel

That's good to know, since others like myself might otherwise base our decision on the dealer's sample. I have not had the chance to see it in person, so I look forward to seeing it on a car. I would like to have gone for this, but its probably safer to stick with what I know.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.
