$ justified: piano vs. high gloss finish

The Accountant · 12-30-2007, 03:23 AM

Ordered the coupe with Piano trim but....

Cost is about euro 1,000 vs. no charge for the black high gloss (plastic) trim with dakota leather.

The BMW woods in fact seem similar to plastic (although they are wood).

The question is, should I save the cash and swtich to high gloss trim or is the piano black actually nicer?

I know it isn't going to be euro 1,000 nicer, but will it actually look better at all?

I got the black trim free with leather seats. I think it looks much better than the aluminum.
