We get the hexagon trim in the UK, I have never had this on my cars as it plays havoc with my eyes
I personally prefer the brushed aluminium
not sure what this is called in the US but this is the photo southerner has posted above. I have had this on my previous 4 cars never had issues with scratches! On my 640d I opted for the poplar wood which is great! as the brushed aluminium is not available in the UK with the M Sport package.
