I thought Piano would be best with Silverstone until I sat in an M5 that had aluminum and Silverstone -- it was Full, but I don't think it matters much in this case. The aluminum is far more classy and intricate than can be shown on the configurator, and I thought it was the perfect mix of sportiness and panache that this car warrants. If you were to go Sakhir or Black though, I would recommend aluminum UNLESS you're doing Sakhir Full, in which case the only right answer IMHO is Piano Black all day. Piano wouldn't look bad with Sakhir Extended though.

The pattern is more of a sawtooth than a diamond, and I initially preferred the solid brushed look of my M3's aluminum, but the more I looked at it and thought about it, I concluded that my M3's aluminum is just right for its character, and the M5's aluminum is right for the M5 (see above). I personally would never want wood trim in a performance car though.
