One of the 35i's that I test drove had brushed aluminum with same black interior and the difference is like day and night. To me looks are very important when I am buying a 50k car, I do not want to save 350$ now and keep thinking for next 4 or 5 years, that I should have gone for brushed aluminum. With that said I heard lot of complaints about brushed aluminum getting dents easily, hence i went for dark wood otherwise my choice would have been brushed alum.
