Personally, the aluminum trim looks so much better. I did that with black leather on my X6M. I think it gives a sportier look and brings out the lines of the interior better. I think people have raised a minor complaint that the glossy black shows smudges and requires frequent cleaning. I can say the aluminum doesn't have that issue. The metal does get a bit hot when the car has been parked in the heat. The aluminum with the sahkir orange is a great combo!

EDIT: I think my aluminum trim on my X6M might be different thank what you will get on your M5. My aluminum trim is horizontal brushed aluminum and is quite subtle. It does not have the vertical striations that the pic someone posted has. I am not sure that I would like the vertical stripes but the aluminum trim that I have is awesome. The pic that someone posted may have had aftermarket aluminum trim on there.
