drilling wroteMy second choiceAluminum mesh (not the one that has triangular patterns) feel very good upon touch and is high quality. I would've got it if it didn't require M package.
I got cognac with wood trim. Very classy and love it!

X4guy wroteAlso curious to know how the aluminum dark mesh is holding up. I was going to go with the fineline wood trim but it looked kind of glossy and something that would scratch easily. We switched to dark mesh aluminum at the last minute and Hoping it’s nice. Have a carbon black exterior with black vernasca interior so hopefully it looks good. I was worried it would look cold or boring but it’s shows up as the popular choice when building the car online.Ownership and father aluminium mesh how is it holding up cleaning and scratches. Think it looks classy up close
bluetriangle wroteCould you share your pics please?I have the aluminium dark mesh with Black Merino and really like it, especially the feel of the texture. Have only had the car for about four weeks so can't say how it wears yet.
Amsa7151 wroteWell, not sure which X5 you ordered, but this is pretty much how its going to look if you haven't received it yet. This is the Carbon Black exterior and if you look at my post above you'll see my interior is the same as what you ordered. I would't have any other interior trim with the black interior. You should be able to appreciate how the exterior color varies depending on whether it is sunny or overcast. Good luck and enjoy!Also curious to know how the aluminum dark mesh is holding up.

X54TH wroteWill be getting that combination . BEAUTIFULFound this on a lot a couple of months ago. It has the Aluminum Dark Mesh. We ordered the Ivory White with the ADM which essential is this interior. I think the ADM is the default unless you select another trim. The Piano Black is very nice and debated that one.
bluetriangle wrotePerfect - my exact interior combo!Like radmjk said, photos don’t do justice to the texture. Really glad I went with this option.
CMBX23 wroteSame here! imo, it doesnt look as "luxury" compared to wood or piano finish, but compliments the black merino best. it also feels like a trendy/modern trim that is not overly distracting.I love my Aluminum Mesh
Before we ordered, we were able to see all trims (ones we were interested) in person and all didnt feel quite right compared to the alum mesh and piano with the black merino. decided against piano because it would of been a nightmare for my ocd
radmjk wroteyour pics do no justice on how it really feels with the black merino and alum mesh! maybe the lighting. but agree texture and color is great with the rest of the interior (from the black plastic to the metal buttons).Heres some photos of mine, Aluminum dark mesh trim. I have just over 4,000 miles on my X5 with no issues in regards to the trim. The photos don't really demonstrate the texture of the trim as the finish is not smooth. It does not show finger prints. Honestly, I wouldn't really want any other trim with the black interior. I did custom a build with my X5 and ordered this trim site unseen. I'm not sure however how it would be with other interior colors. Good Luck!

CMBX23 wroteHi, do you think it would look good with Coffee Sensafin, I have an opportunity on an X5 (Mineral White M Sport) and it comes with this trim and was really curious because I have not seen this in person and the X5 is being sold in another state. Also, is it a silver, a dark silver or light, and does it have any pattern to it when seeing it up close? Thank you for any input you can share.I love my Aluminum Mesh
