Interior trims?

[Chrisb1231]

Hey ladies and gents,

I am in the market for a new m3 (want the v8 before the downsize) and i was wondering if any body had a collection of pictures showcasing the different interior trims, mostly the sycamore wood.

I am not sure what I want to go with. The idea of the carbon on the inside seemed a little silly to me, I thought it would look tacky but I saw some pics and it wasn't so bad. The aluminum is nice but very loud and what I am really interested in seeing is the sycamore wood. Cant seem to find any pictures of it however, yes i searched even if it was only for 5 minutes .

also if your interested 6mt, Jzb, and fr/bl/bl. no comp package.

Thanks in advance!

Ugh. that sycamore wood with red fox interior?? Maybe it was just the lighting, but that looked absolutely awful.

It's not the lighting

for some reason I don't think a wood trim should be in an M3... Just sounds wrong...

good point, I agree. I had a real dark wood, I forget what it was called, on my 330ci. That looked good. But that lighter wood that was in that pic I don't think is any good for this car. And it doesn't really sound like anybody actually gets it either.

I ordered the titanium shadow trim and I can't wait to see it when the car comes in. Just the other day I saw a light poplar like wood in an RS4 and it almost made me throw up... But some really dark woods look nice... the Anthracite wood trim for example....

I think the interior is too modern and functional looking to have wood trim. It doesn't have a classic look like some cars do. For example, an Infiniti M35/45 with its classic clock front and center. It's not a good or bad thing, just doesn't fit the car. Of course, this is my opinion.

Agreed, I wish I had scene the Anthracite in person. I'm happy with the carbon fiber; I just knew that I didn't want the aluminum trim because I feel like I saw that ALL THE TIME on the E46 and thought it best for a change. Now of course I see the carbon leather ALL THE TIME on E9x

The only time that you should see wood in a M3 is near redline.....
