Trim suggestions for beige dakota leather interior?

Hey guys, I've got beige dakota leather in my 335d. The trim is currently light walnut. I'm looking for something different. Not everything goes good with this interior colour unfortunately.

Piano black?



Aluminum? (Eh... kinda iffy on this)



CF wrap? (Too ricey)



Any other trim colours that you think might look good just let me know! I know there are some BMW individual trim options as well that I've seen, but those would be pretty hard to fine me thinks.

Piano black looks really clean with that interior. What is your exterior color?

BSM. Great combo with the beige, I think piano black is going to be the winner here. I do love the wood grain, it's just a bit boring. I wish I could go with a matte wood grain with a bit more character to it.

Yay!! Are you going to paint it piano black yourself? or have it professionally powdercoated? or purchase OEM?

3M 1080 gloss black vinyl could look quite nice... i only have it on my shifter knob, but it seems to work pretty well with the color scheme

I'd look into brushed steel or brushed black wrap. Available from 3M

True. I've seen it installed and it doesn't sparkle hardly at all in the vehicle. Maybe the lighting inside the car isn't as bright.

Brushed black has no sparkle and also looks good.

Brushed black metallic is the second one in my pic, where you cant quite see the name...same amount and type of tiny sparkles


Also.
.. the brushed finishes are extremely DIRECTIONAL, which makes an otherwise simple vinyl job hellishly hard to get right

Wow! That piano black looks very sharp. The other two are nice but the piano black looks so clean and sharp contrasting against your other colors. That would be my choice all day long
