As you can tell, I don't particularly like the leather carbon fiber or real carbon fiber. The metal trim clashes in my opinion with the grey leather.

This is turning into a little hobby. No rush, the car works well regardless of the trim.
OIC, thx for the info. I'm a big carbon fiber fan but seeing cf leather in a Z4 M prior to ordering an M3 was just ok but I still took that chance since I don't like either of those 2 wood trims. When the car arrived I did a 180 & really liked cf leather in an e9x M3.
