    Is this brushed aluminum trim?

    The PO had the interior trim wrapped with a carbon fiber effect and I just bought some stock titan silver trim to replace it.
    I noticed upon disassembly that the trim pieces are most definitely metal and am wondering if they could be brushed aluminum pieces or if there is some other possibility aftermarket stuff that is metal.
    I was wanting to sell the pieces as is, wrapped w/ carbon fiber effect however if they are brushed aluminum I would just take the wrap off and install them.
    Thanks for any help on identifying these.

    Edit: I found a part number on the middle section and it is the woodgrain pattern found in other E46 models.
    Sure doesn't look like brushed aluminum from pictures (of the backside) on ECS etc.

    The plinth on the rear as pictured is cast aluminum.
    The brushed aluminum veneer is brighter and shows dents and stains rather easily.
    I ended up painting mine low gloss black.

      I wrapped my previous e60m5, just like yours, in carbon fiber and it actually came out pretty good. I was super pleased to delete the wood that it came with. Glad you found the part number.
