Brushed stainless/aluminum is a totally classic/timeless finish for both architecture and automobiles IMO. I only wish they were real metal, or at least a thin layer of real metal. The quality of the "aluminum" trim in BMWs does not really seem up to par.
The Aluminum Trim in the M3 after 2003.5 (I beleive thats the date) is actually aluminum. The matt chrome and earlier aluminum trim is just plastic.
