However, I do not agree with how the hexagonal interior trim looks. Both I and the dealership agreed with how cheap it looked compared to the wood trims. I would not even think about this trim for such a luxury vehicle. I suggest people look at it in person before ordering.
Just my opinion.

Cheap? Far from it. The notion that somehow wood denotes luxury is laughable.
I once spoke to a product manager at BMW and we had a good laugh about the wood trims. He couldn't understand it either "wood has no place in a BMW" he said ... But apparently the American market is all about wood trims.
It reminds us all when bmw owned rover ... And they had an obsession with wood trim in cars.
