Thoughts on Grey Interior w/ Aluminum trim...

ToddPhilly · 05-25-2006, 08:21 AM

I'm thinking of ordering this combo with Crimson Red exterior when the E92s become available.

Anybody have pics of this interior in an E90?

afocoryw20 · 05-25-2006, 08:34 AM

I have this color combo.....I think it looks great......

bringsmewomen · 05-25-2006, 08:41 AM

IDK. looks kinda cheap.

clutch09 · 05-25-2006, 08:44 AM

Ugly in my opinion, I don't like grey or beige interiors. Imo, Black and Terra look the best. But again, this is a subjective opinion, what matters is what makes you happy.

ALPINE6SPD · 05-25-2006, 09:10 AM

I like it

stressdoc · 05-25-2006, 09:33 AM

I like it, but I would probably go for the grey poplar trim instead with grey leather.

ToddPhilly · 05-25-2006, 09:40 AM

I think the grey poplar will look nice too. My issue is I'm going for more of a sporty look. The wood looks nice, but almost too 'classy' ?? The aluminum gives more of a sports car look.

I would get the black w/ aluminum, but that's what I have in my current 330ci. I want some sort of change

Mr. BMW · 05-25-2006, 09:46 AM

It will not be easy keeping that clean. My first BMW was light gray and I'll never do that again.

I think the Grey interior looks classy, esp when paired up with wood trim, at least thats what I ordered

for my e90

kabhatti · 05-25-2006, 11:04 AM

I like it, looks good in my opinion, but gotta admit, seems like it's going to be hard keeping it clean.

I need to take some more pictures with the steering wheel straight!

geeslice · 05-25-2006, 11:07 AM

I'm not a huge fan but to each their own.

Foo's Girl · 05-25-2006, 11:14 AM

Looks nice, I had that color interior before and it was a pita to keep clean.

DesiInCT · 05-25-2006, 11:17 AM

Looks clean to me ... as someone already said .. to each his own .. go with your gut!

To each their own. I have black leather. If the grey were darker, more like charcoal, I probably would have gotten that instead.

BTW, you're missing a pedal.

lol,
I have driven stick all my life and am actually tired of driving in traffic with a manual.....1st...brake....1st...2nd....brake...and so on.

If I purchased a "higher end" sports car then I would get that other pedal...

I understand how everyone is entitled to their own opinion but am confused how anyone could say it looks cheap? IMO wood interior was played out in the 90's....but like everyone else here...it's just my opinion

stressdoc · 05-25-2006, 12:20 PM

I think the grey poplar is as sporty, and it does not ding. How about Carbon Fiber?

Jesse Wilson · 05-25-2006, 12:45 PM

Not to my taste I would go with wood trim as well, there is such a thing as to much grey. LOL Your driving an E90 that looks sporty even without the alum.

Jesse

ToddPhilly · 05-25-2006, 12:53 PM

I'd love black carbon...i don't think bmw is making it available in the E92.

afocoryw20 · 05-25-2006, 12:59 PM

There is already a custom fit for the e90(black carbon), so I'm sure there will be for the e92 also....

BMW06 · 05-25-2006, 01:02 PM

Its a nice combo for a sporty interior look. I have it & love it. No issues with keeping it clean.

pawarrant · 05-25-2006, 01:07 PM

In my opinion the grey with wood trim looks classy. I like the Black with the aluminum for a more sporty look.

ToddPhilly · 05-25-2006, 01:22 PM

I don't really want to spend a lot of money retrofitting black carbon in a leased car. I'll probably put some light window tints on the car, but that would be about it.
