Saphire Black, Saddle Brown, but which Trim?

udm · 02-19-2007, 04:13 AM

Which trim is this from Doc T's pictures? I'm not really sure, cause it looks lighter than walnut but darker than light poplar. Just can't figure it out for sure, but I like it.

It`s light poplar, stunning with saddlebrown and anthracit roof.

Wow, I'm really starting to fall in love with the light poplar and saddle, even though it is currently last in the poll. I really wonder how many people saw that combination in real.

If you won't go aluminum, the light poplar seems to "go" more with the saddle.
Good luck!

Hey, the 3rd pic you posted is my car so I'm for walnut. In my opinion, it's very hard to capture the real thing and I was torn b/w walnut and poplar but after seeing it in person my doubts went away. The walnut is not so bright that it dominates the leather (unless you want the trip to stand out over the upholstery) but has a brown that is elegant and compliments the brown of the leather. I was really happy seeing it.

For me it is also interesting, that saddle looks different on every picture. It seems really difficult to catch the original color.

1. Picture: Light Poplar
2. Picture: Grey Poplar
3. Picture: Walnut

I've seen the light poplar/saddle interior in person and i didnt like it at all. The trim was a lot lighter than the leather and looked cheap in my opinion. I'd go with either the walnut or the grey poplar.. I'm getting the grey poplar with saddle on an AW 335 coupe...

I tend to agree on the light poplar/saddle.. starts to get a bit too carnival and busy..

I had originally ordered an E93 in plat bronze over saddle with the burl walnut trim but had second thoughts after seeing walnut and poplar trims side by side in saddle E92's and subsequently changed to the light poplar...I wanted a break in the dark dash especially considering the E93's anthracite headliner although the Euro piano black trim would have been hard to take a pass on...I already have aluminum trim in my V70R wagon so that was not an option for me...hard to imagine disappointment in any of the trim selections...no more obsessing over colors and trims...at least for tonight.
