What panel trim will go with Cognac Vernasca leather X6?

I have my order almost done for a Tanzanite Blue x6 M50i.
I have ordered M Multifunction seats which are beautiful.
The problem is that on an M50i ..I can only get extended Merino in Black or Vernasca in Cognac. However the Cognac does not come with extended or full leather option...so the dash and instrument panel will be in black leather.
I think Cognac will go better Tanzi blue .however. with the black dash..what would be the best trim panels that would somehow provide a nice transition from Cognac-Black-Tanzi Blue. I'm looking for a more luxury look so carbon fibre and aluminium trims or even piano black are not looking nice.
Could someone please advise? I don't have too many X6 with my local dealership to decide. Some pics would help.
Please share some wisdom thx

I have CB/Cognac/Alu tetragon and it looks very luxurious and modern.

No trims go with Cognac.

Get Tartufo, and then you'll get the Merino leather.

My preference would be aluminum hex, although the fineline brown would be my preferred wood alternative.

Best to look at pics and decide for yourself.

Matte wood goes best in my opinion. Have it in the X7 and it is a very harmonious colorway.

Go with carbon fiber, leave the wood for the old men in their 550SL.

Obviously it is a personal preference but as iconoclast said, go with the poplar matte. I'm a woodworker and prefer wood trims and that is the best choice in my opinion.

I got the Fineline Brown to go with my Cognac. I like it. You can't see the wood very well in this picture, but it meshes well with the Cognac.

Of course I'm bias but IMO this pops the most and is most sporty looking IMO. No choice looks bad like said above all about personal preference.

I also have the fineline brown with coffee. It’s not for everybody, though - only for those of us with exquisite taste, and Brad Pitt-like looks.
