R56 Checkerboard interior trim...
#7
I first wanted piano black dash trim, but it scratches easily. I chose this trim and love it now. I also have the black/grey leatherette seats, but I would have chosen the lounge leather seats if I had the money. Take the money you save and get the anthracite headliner, I think that makes the interior look a whole lot better.

If I could, a 'price check' on this trim business.
It looks like there may be a mix of apples & oranges going on in the previous posts. Some seem like they're talking about the checkerboard interior surface, and some seem like they're talking about the checkerboard dash trim.
I spoke with my MA today and he first told me I couldn't get the checkerboard trim on my MC--that it was only available on the MCS. Then I clarified I was talking about the checkerboard dash trim, which showed in the options catalog as being avialable for all MCs and Clubmans. OK, now I thought we were on the same page, but he told me it as near $1000 installed!
I can't believe this is right! It seems like we must still not be talking about the same thing, but I'll put it out to you folks. For those that chose to get the checkerboard dash trim, did you pay anywhere near that amount for materials & install combined? What else might he be confusing this option with?

I agree the statements about piano black - fingerprints, dust and any scratches are very visible! I keep a microfiber cloth in my glove compartment for touch ups. I have to admit though that I didn't think about the downsides to the Piano Black until I got it. But I do have to also admit that the interior of my MCS with the piano black trim, anthrasite headliner, black cloth checkered seats, and chrome lined interior looks so classic and awesome. If I could go back, I probably would not get piano black, but probably upgrade still from the standard checkered.
