What interior trim is this?

isabayo · 07-18-2009, 09:07 AM

I thought it might be sycamore but the texture seems a bit different from the pictures of sycamore I saw on this forum.

extended bamboo with sycamore wood...

KonigsTiger · 07-18-2009, 10:40 AM

It does look very nice, but IMO not for the M3.

davedave · 07-18-2009, 11:39 AM

it looks like OLD people car

I'm not a huge fan of wood trims in the M cars or AMG for that matter
They only llok good in high end exotics and old cruisers like the S class or the 7 series

Wood is for luxo barges not sports cars (unless it's a morgan in which case it's made from the stuff so is vital

)

Not feeling that at all...

Yeah exactly. I have extended black with the Sycamore only because I am changing out the trim. Not for this car IMO either

Wood=class!

It's not a bad look, but does remind me of my brother-in-law's Avalon. Carbon Leather FTW.

MyKmYk · 07-19-2009, 11:02 AM

Wood in M3's isn't always bad....

Just sayin'!

Bluesummer · 07-19-2009, 02:39 PM

it's called non-sporty ugly trim

zenderm3 · 07-19-2009, 07:45 PM

I concur... I think it is sycamore w/bamboo extended, not anthracite (spelling?) which is a bluey black colour.

Not my fav. colour - but if it suits you then great!

isugoo · 07-19-2009, 08:03 PM

In my opinion, Sycamore "only" looks good when old couple (55-65 yrs old) drives around in sunny weekend. It looks really cool and "hip" but not for under 55 years old. It loses it's sport spirit. Just my opinion. =)

Ah well, I guess I'll go from 39 to 65 the moment I take delivery.

umm... its a very odd interior combination in the ///M. i suppose its a very acquired taste and certainly isn't mine.

It was the colour BMW used to launch the BMW M3 Convertible...

Tend to agree but I did see it in a JzB 'vert at Die Welt last year and in that case I thought it OK.
