Does it get better than this? The Terra/ Aluminum is really hot especially with the Black, Monaco or Sparkling Graphite. I would have a hard time deviating from one of those combos, but the Lemon/Walnut is downright classic prep. Both extremely nice interiors.

It does not get any better than Terra/Aluminum/Sparkling Graphite.

I have this combo on order which should arrive in early January.

tbensous · 11-13-2005, 06:10 AM

Does someone have good picture of Lemon/Poplar to compare the contrast with Lemon/Walnut ?

Looks like the later is the most common, but I guess the lighter wood would look nice on the black dash.

Thanks !

BeeEm's newly delivered Alpine White with Terra leather and burl wood interior. Gorgeous combo!

jumpinjoe · 12-12-2005, 12:28 PM

The terra w aluminum is sporty, but the dark wood gives a warmth to the interior. Both look great :rocks:

txusa03 · 12-12-2005, 01:14 PM

So does the split arm rest, damn, when will that be available on the market....I want my split arm rest!

JoeBeemer · 12-17-2005, 03:46 AM

Yesterday I saw first time my 330 at my dealers. I am having it delivered in January to have the 2006 registration

It is M-Sport LeMans Blue, with Terra/aluminum interior but with Anthracite roof. It looks even better than I thought! The Terra looks great with Le Mans, and the black roof is really cool. I will post some pictures once I get it.

babee869 · 12-30-2005, 03:12 PM

does anyone know if the lemon interior is available in the united states? when i customize my bmw on the bmwusa website, it only allows me to select the beige intereior. after seeing all of your guys pictures, i really like the lemon interior and i was wondering if i could get it. i live in california

Wolf359 · 12-30-2005, 10:11 PM

It's not offered in the US, but is available in Canada. Don't know if your dealer could arrange for something or if you could just go find a dealer in British Columbia and have your order placed there if you really want that interior...

SteveMD · 01-02-2006, 07:37 PM

I have a quick question: does BMW use leather on any surfaces other than the seats or is the rest of the car i.e. doors etc done in matching leatherette?

n50four · 01-17-2006, 01:07 PM

I'm considering the Ti Silver with Terra/Aluminum Trim combination. Does anyone have this combo or has seen it? Opinions please.

Doors have the leather too!

I notice this small storage compartment right below the light switch. Is this only available in European spec'ed cars? I've never notice this before...

i m considering the same combo color with the M Package, sporty and classic in the same time

Just waiting the news of an upcoming 335ti

SRT · 01-18-2006, 06:03 AM

E46 has those little storage compartments too, nothing new I would imagine, but congratulations on your find :P

rebelfocus · 01-18-2006, 09:00 AM

That particular storage compartment under the wheel is only on European spec cars (well perhaps other parts of the world too... but not the US).

Supposedly, this is something to do with a knee impact protection rule in the US so they have to remove it for your market.

It's a shame because it's a useful storage area.

I think that compartment is part of the Euro spec 'storage package' that can be ordered as an option. The package also has the cupholders, lighter sockets in the rear, etc.

hkj · 01-19-2006, 02:14 AM

Hmm... that's a shame. In US we get the cupholders etc as standard equipment, but I sure could use some extra storage space (I don't mind paying for them either). I can understand why they'd remove such thing in our car..

Sometimes I think US has some dumb requlations.. like requiring amber turning signals on all cars.
