Alex,

I have decided to change the trim because I have the two tone red & Black interior. I think the wood has a very funny contrast with the red. It almost clashes. If my interior were all black I would leave the wood.

I also want the aluminum because it brightens up the interior quite a bit. The wood is very dark.

The only piece of the aluminum trim that was known to peel was the aluminum shift knob. BMW has replaced that with a all leather shift knob to alleviate that issue.
