If you want to save some $$$ on the trim, just paint your gloss black which is pretty much piano black as far as I could tell.
Again, personal taste, but I feel there is a difference with
high gloss black (a standard trim on the regular 3-series).
Piano black is real wood, it looks more substantial and of higher quality IMO. But then again, I am a stickler for details.
OP, another possibility is to have a standard trim (e.g. aluminium) painted piano black. I know
Technic did that for a fraction of the price of the piano trim for his Individual Rust Brown interior.
I think it looks good on his car, but I think the result will depend on how good the painters are. I don't know any superb painters around here and just wanted my car to come from the factory that way, so ordered piano for my car.
Amarone interior should be available. It is available as an option in Canada, so that means that particular leather has been tested, etc. for the E9X series M3. The Canadian members
BMRLVR has it. Looks great. Link to thread:
