I am looking into leasing a Z3 next year and would like some feedback on the aluminum trim available from BMW. I did post a question previously on this subject, but I suppose I worded it incorrectly because the replies I got referred me to aftermarket sites (not something I want to look into with a leased Z3, even if I have the option of buying after the lease expires).

I own a Jag, and if you know anything about the brand, it is loaded with wood. I want something different. However, I have had the displeasure of experiencing "aluminum trim" before on a '96 Supra that a member in my firm owned. It was basically plastic with aluminum coloured paint - very cheap. My dealer says he's not sure what the new trim is like since he hasn't seen it. He'll be getting an M3 with aluminum trim, but not for a while. So, to make a long story short, can anyone tell me what the trim is made of and what it is like? Thanks for your help.
