how the hell did you get brushed aluminum???

Its whatever the aluminum option is, I dont remember what it is called.

fish scale?

I think you're correct aesthetect, it looks like seat tilt is a Sport package item only. Looking at the OPs pics, I can see that there is no tilt lever on the front/left of the driver's seat. Also, there is no thigh adjustment and no power bolster adjustment on the non-Sport seats.

There is no thigh adjustment, I know that, and there is also no seat tilt adjustment, at least not in my car. It might be a part of the sport pack or premium pack, neither of which my car is equipped with.

I guess that is a good way to describe it.

Are you referring to side bolster adjustments. ?? ... only relevant to the Sport Seat.

The seat does tilt, you'll figure it out, heck,if all else fails, there's always the owner's manual.:iono:

Good-looking interior.

I played around with it for a while and couldnt figure it out. My brothers 325 doesnt do it either.

Black is too dark, gets too hot and I dont like leather so taupe it was. Ive always liked light colored cars with light interiors.

Fish scale... Ice cube tray... Snake skin... Aluminum Glacier... LOL... Makes no difference whatever it's called. It's exotic looking whatever name anyone prefers. It gets MAJOR compliments, and has a great tactile feel as well.

I prefer the brushed aluminum, but its still better than wood and should stay much cleaner on the door handle than if it were covered in leather or leatherette.

aesthetect · 05-14-2008, 05:57 PM

^ yeah, regardless, that and jet black are definitely the most appropriate options.

Beautiful combo. congrats!

I agree : I love the lighter color interiors....especially since I'm getting the 'vert....I think it'll brighten the whole car up much more. I went with the taupe 'ette too. Couldn't see paying up for taupe leather when the taupe 'ette looked identical to me.:biggrin:
