I don't have a pic for you, but I think that handle would like just fine with a black interior, especially if you have titanium trim... Let us know what you decide and share some pics!

I agree with X5Jay, I think it would look good. No wood trim but here is that same handle with black int.

yeah..it looks nice with black and titanium trim but I'm not sure it will blend in with light wood trim.

I don't think it matters what wood trim you have as long as you have ACS pedals as well.

I agree. I just put my ACS pedals on yesterday (took ~15 mins with a cordless drill & good drill/driver bits), and really like the style. With wood interior, it's always going to be a balance to strike between the woodgrain, leather, and steel/chrome. From the factory, there's very little/no steel/chrome, so these touches will draw your eyes to em.

Personally (with dark poplar trim), I'm planning for ACS pedals & chrome gauges, probably without the brake handle. But that's just my taste- I agree with Breyton that the handle would look good if it matches the pedals. Good Luck!

I have the light poplar wood trim, and did the same (ACS pedals and chrome gauge rings, but not the brake handle). I think it might look really good with the metallic interior, though.

I have the BMW OEM brushed aluminum handle. I had it with the light poplar and all black interior. It stuck out like a sore thumb and imo didnt blend well. When I switched to the dark poplar it seemed to match well.

Do you have a part number for that...???

and pictures of it installed?
