Terra leather interior combos

Which interior combination looks best?

rlc · 01-10-2006, 02:02 AM

Aluminum for me - I'm very happy with my interior. Also, if you haven't done so already, make sure you see Terra in person. It is not as orange as it looks in most of the posted pictures.

Aluminum all the way!

2006bmw · 01-10-2006, 03:19 AM

I voted (with my wallet) for walnut. I'm not a fan of aluminum with any color interior, but especially not with terra. I think it clashes - terra is a rich, warm color, it shouldn't be combined with a cold metallic trim.

i have walnut in my car, the aluminum just looks cheap. i mean why are you spending $32k+ on a car and getting a cheap part of it? doesnt make sense to me.

DavE90 · 01-10-2006, 06:44 AM

IMO Burl walnut looks a lot better, aluminum looks cheap and I heard it scratch very easy.

Jet / Terra / Burl for me and I love it! Best interior we have here in the US..... IMHO

how does aluminum look cheaper than wood? that's the biggest crack of $hit i've heard! if anything, it looks sportier. a lot of people (m5board) put aluminum trim in their E60 M5s. that also must be because they want their $100k car look a little cheaper...

I think for this type post. It is the best post your own preference., but leave all other comments behind. Otherwise the thread will get ugly.

Just like some like auto, and other like manual. Some like Blonde and other like ....... . It is personal perference. That's all.

I prefer aluminium precisely because I like the clash of the cold look of alu as contrasted with the warm rich look of the Terra.

Lost Rider · 01-10-2006, 04:54 PM

The only time I saw Terra in person was with aluminum trim. I also really like it because of the contrast between the two. hot and cold
I liked it enough to order it.

Agreed.

Aluminum because it looked good in the brochure, plus my car has Aluminum trim.

Chesmu · 01-10-2006, 05:41 PM

i have burl... i liked the Al but I hear it scratches easily, and with two kids, that is a definite issue for me.

bavarian19 · 01-10-2006, 06:27 PM

Just got back from the dealership where I saw the terra and walnut in person... looks amazing!!! much better than in the pics ive seen...

Makes me think I should have gone with terra

Ditto. I am ordering the same. Terra + Alu. I was debating Black + Alu but I am bored of black interiors.

IMHO wood is a good fit for larger cars like the 5 and above. To me the 3er with wood looks a bit too oldish and not sporty. But you should order whatever you like the best and screw what anyone thinks. It is your money.
