Wood / Walnut trim

because pipe and slippers
The scourge of the used BMW/merc market. The worse ones in my eyes are the really light grey leather with orangey brown wood. Some combos should be denied from the ordering books.
Darker with less contrast between wood and leather looks ok (like the citroen above)

The i3 is lovely, having a big chunk of untreated wood that's properly styled to go there.
I generally feel wood works better in cabins that have a variety of colours, like those with tan seats/carpets and black dash uppers. I'd forgotten about my old A4:
Similar to the E46 in having fairly small strips of a nice dark wood that has some visual depth. Not as good, especially around the front fascia where it looks a bit cheap, but still not actively offensive to my eye.
In the E46 it is real wood. I know this because some of the gearbox has chipped off but it's important that it should be. It's strange how some people violently object to wood interior, so long as it suits the cabin I don't see why not - just as faux carbon fibre can look right in some applications too.
