Where I'm getting the condensation, your trim appears to be black - mine appears to have a greyish pattern through out it?
Agreed, yours seems to have a grayish pattern on it, mine is definitely glossy black.

It looks like anything from the M60+ gets this section in black, anything below gets the pattern I have.

And I’m a perfectionist. It’s looks dead perfect.

I know the attached pictures aren’t great lighting but hopefully you can see what I’m taking about.
Trim looks great, is this real carbon fiber or a CF-look? Looks amazing from the pics, only thing that would make it better is if the CF pattern on the sliding cover for the valet tray and cup holders follow the same direction as the center console.

Looks amazing! What did you pay to have all the trim pieces hydro dipped?

It ended up costing $2600 AUD

I take it no one noticed the weave going a different direction?

No, i did not.

It looks OME like to me. I think that in order to recognize that it is not, you must be a BMW nerd or own a car with the original trim.
