I ended up going with black this time around.

I made a huge mistake on my E60. I went with aluminum trim with silverstone interior.

When new the light color really makes the car looks spacious. The aluminum were very reflective and looked great.

But after a while, the aluminum gloss faded and looked very dull.

My problem with leather is that I am the only driver and usually only person in the car. So the driver seat and armrest all worn much more faster than other seat. The silvesrstone driver seat turned into light gray while the other seats looks decent.

Just too much for me to constantly take care of it. So i gave up. I am going full black this time around.
