As you said to each his own, but I personally don't care for the mix and match approach. I prefer continuity.

I agree. However, I've been down the road of buying carbon trim. Aftermarket guys are just wrapping OEM parts in carbon. The net result is the parts are several mm's larger than stock and they just don't fit. Yes, they look nice, but every part I ever got didn't fit like OEM - obviously, they aren't the same size anymore. Now, BMW OEM parts like the rear diffusor and mirror caps are PURE carbon parts - not wrapped plastic! If they offered it for the interior, I'd do it. Pretty sure the steering wheel piece is actually wrapped plastic, but it looked too nice to turn down.
If someone has pics of the interior swapped to gloss, with good experience with aftermarket parts, I'd love to hear it. DB Carbon was willing to do it for me, but the cost was ridiculous.
