I just changed my order from tetragon to carbon thanks to this forum.
Here were the factors that I considered:
Tetragon looked good enough to me in the pics.
Should look good with silverstone leather, which i ordered
I am not sure for the amount of trim, carbon is worth the price. The larger paddle shifters probably doesnt justifiy it either. Aluminium steering wheel trim is ok by me
Doubt carbon makes a difference on resale.
Tetragon is standard in X5 so assume its not cheap material, except carwow guy said it looked cheap.
Tetragon looks classy to some and busy to others.
Tetragon if ordering a sunroof since it will be nowhere else on the car. Ie M340i.
What the heck, there is a piece of carbon fiber on my roof so why not put a touch of carbon on the inside too.
