Got rid of the wood.
I took out the Vavona wood trims and replaced them with these. What do you think?

looks just like my car's trim. There's nothing fancy about this look really, b/c as you probably may already know, that fake carbon fiber trim came stock on all the 528 w/ sport pkg.

You grey interior looks great with the new trim. I have a 02 525 with Sand Beige trim that needs some of it replaced. Are you interested in getting rid of the Vavona and sending it to a good home?

Makes a boring German interior even more boring, but that's just me; I also find monochrome tail lights boring.

I think it looks good.
I have a beige interior on my 530i with the Vavona wood trim which has some minor cracking going on, I would like to replace it at some point but don't see many other trims that would go well with beige interior and can't seem to find a decent price. Do you guys know of any good combos with beige and any reputable places to get it for a decent price? |

Funny thing. For me the wood is what makes this car special. It reminds me of this story:

I really like the graphite trim with you car's interior...! It works very well together IMO. Tiko, I would look in the classifieds for some used trim for-sale. However, sometimes wood trims from another car does not match completely. Thanks! Jason
