Fine Wood Grey Blue Open Pore Ash trim?
Just wondering anybody picked this interior trim (because I did) and it seems there is no picture on the web and it is quite new.
I hop I did not make a mistake. |

So that’s the wood I ordered as well and was curious to how it looks. My dealer said it had more of a grey tint to it then blue. But if that’s it in the video, that looks nothing like the picture.

I agree, car in the video looks like it has blue open pore wood. Most likely the blue is very subtle, which is a good thing.

I ordered it and I'm also very curious about it. I got Tanzy blue so I decided to go for the blue-ish trim.

I have it with Tanzanite Blue and Copper Brown/Atlas Gray Merino leather and I think it looks great.

Grey blue ash vs carbon
It is real matte wood, no light shines, anti fingerprints, I like it

The black 530i X Drive in my Broker's showroom has it. I was skeptical at first because I saw it on the configurator and it had, what I thought was too much blue, and I was hoping they would come out with a plain black open pore. But when I saw it in real life, I liked it, and made up my mind that I wanted it. So I ordered it with my 540i. With the entirely black interior it should make a nice contrast. I was originally getting the M Veganza Alcantara seats, and it would look even better with that one. But then I decided to get the Luxury seating package and you just can't get that in anything but black, brown or leather seating.

I originally ordered the gloss Black Oak trim in my 2025 540i, but was later told that it was not available for 2025, so changed it to Grey Blue Ash. Why don't they have the natural Wood tone trim like I have in the G30? What is even more annoying, None of the dealerships in central FL have any sample pieces of the trim or paint chips! What the hell kind of slop shops are these? Ordering a custom BMW this day and age is a guessing game.

I have it in my i5. The blue is very very subtle. Looks like a black open pore wood.

I ordered it as well (Blue Open Pore Ash) because in the videos the blue seems subtle.
I test drove one with the Dark Oak High Gloss and I thought perhaps it would be a fingerprint/dust magnet, because my tester's looked like it had tons of fine lint on it. I liked the Aluminum Rhombicile, and almost went with that, until I found a whole discussion about how people were trying to come up with any ideas how to repair it when it had a scratch/abrasion on it. ![]() |

I have it on my new 540ix and concur that the color is very nice. More of a dark graphite color, but in very bright light, you can see a faint bluish tint… not too much! It perfectly complements my black interior, especially with my preferred blue ambient lighting. I love it!
