I also have beige interior and i can honestly say the barrage of beige when you open the door is unbearable after a while. Im thinking of getting cf or black trim and some black accents like speaker covers, window switches etc.

I'd do black brushed aluminum or gloss black. Or maybe even suede. I used to be a big fan of CF vinyl but grew out of it.

Its crazy... anything is better than that wood trim. Just take your trim to a body shop and have them paint it Sapphire Black with extra coats of clearcoat. Boom.

My parents say they don't like it because it looks like a pimp's car
I've had mine two weeks now and hasn't gotten dirty, but I guess time will tell. I hit it with Scotchgard for Suede and Nubuck before reinstalling all the panels, so hopefully that'll do the trick.

I actually did the same thing about a month ago because my trim was scratched to hell and didn't want to pay hundreds to replace it. I left just the center piece around the shifter brushed aluminum and everything else suede wrapped. Turned out pretty good, and has held up fine

I wrapped the wood in black vinyl and got some black floor mats. Makes all the difference in the world.

I also had beige interior with dark wood trim and tried few combinations. First I wrapped in brushed aluminum vinyl





Then wrapped in 3M 1080 gloss black



I wasnt satisfied, not enough gloss so I painted them in gloss black



That was much better solution but again, I wanted something special
Few days ago I painted them in black sapphire metallic and that it, I think thats best color combination. In shadow its very high gloss black, in sun it has metallic effect, stunning

Black and cream just looks wrong
Ive got the same interior and having the same problem
My conclusion is that nothing looks good with beige

Can't believe so many people hate the beige and wood, I love mine and it's what I was looking for when I got a BMW. To me it's a classy/luxury look over a modified car look. The beige/black does look good though
