Grey wood or Gloss black trim?
Since I was not able to order the grey wood on the 135i, I ordered the black gloss trim and was going to hope that the grey wood would become available while the car was in 111 status. But now I am not sure if its worth the trouble and maybe the black gloss will look better, what do you guys think?

As much as I think the brushed aluminum looks better than glacier, I would say, with a black/black car, I would get glacier, for contrast alone. Second choice would be gray poplar.
Gloss black would be too Darth Vaderish for me, but it's your car. |

I think the Gloss Black will look amazing with the Taupe or Coral Red, based just on what I see in the BMW configurator. Seeing it in real life may change my opinion
The black trim would be perfect if you were going to go through the whole car and get rid of any signs of color or anything shiny. (clear or smoked corner lights, gunmetal grey wheels, dark window tint, de-badged, etc...) The evil black look. |

This was discussed earlier on another thread, but IMHO the gloss black, which is (I admit) very "Darth Vaderish" will give a texture contrast, which I believe will look very good. Of course you have to like lots of black, which I do.
