  • I would go with the black interior, but I would suggest going leather if you insist on oyster. I have seen a friends wife car with oyster, not leather and it really shows damage if not you are very careful. On the other side, leather can withstand everything with minimal maintenance.

Below my setup, aluminum mesh with black leather.
That ambient lighting must look really nice reflecting off the aluminum.

can't I just go to the zoo and borrow a couple of koala bears? they can sit in my car and lick the eucalyptus wood clean... assuming it's real eucalyptus.

The piano black trim is a nightmare. I find myself removing the DUST and fingerprints it attracts daily. Wish I had customized my vehicle better. FWIW

my friend had the black piano trim wrapped with clear PPF. it looked great and no longer attracted fingerprints... also prevents scratches that show up easily on black polished surface. that was about 2 years ago and the black parts still look brand new. videos below show the 750i and M3
