For some reason the aluminum trims just don't do anything for me, especially as I lean toward the Terra interior. Maybe if I were to do black + aluminum. But Mineral Grey + black leather + aluminum trim sort of bores me.
I here ya... I was never much of a fan of aluminum trims, always opting for wood. The nicest by far was the grey poplar (blackish wood w real wood grain), albeit I've only had the murtle brown wood. The hexagon aluminum is nothing special (and comes with the blue highlight, which probably is a no-no). The brushed aluminum is kinda sporty though, with the black highlight. A real tough call, but I find that BMW's latest wood trims don't look like real wood, which kinda sucks.
You can get black gloss with the hexagon...
