I haven't seen many people order their X3's w/o the premium (which allow the wood or aluminum trims) so if there any pics of those of you have ordered the silver matte trim, please share that here too.

Similar thread; it seems the silver matte trim is plastic while the brushed aluminum is real metal.

http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=468648 You are correct that the 28i w/o premium package comes standard with silver matte. That is how my X3 is configured which is on order. |

First material difference and then finish quality that it gives on the vehicle. I have seen matte on 28i that I test drove with black interior, it looked very dull in my opinion, it does not complement the vehicle interior that much like the brushed aluminum. 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.

OT - but does anyone know or has been able to order a trim of their choice without ordering the premium pkg? Maybe there's a code the dealer can use? Just thinking outloud here.
