E39 Wood Trim

You probably know the usual suspects when it comes to E39 interior trims — the classic Burl Walnut (Nussbaum), Piano Black, Technical Graphite or the sporty Aluminum trim found on M Sport models. These were the standard picks that filled most 5 Series cabins from the factory.

But this was peak BMW — and for those who wanted more, the Individual program opened the door to some truly exotic interior trims.

We're talking about rare species like Arizona Sun, Muschelahorn Oliv (Olive Ash), and Pappel Natur. These trims didn't just add flair — they brought serious bespoke character to the E39, especially when paired with bold or matching leather choices.

Down below, you'll find our top picks for the most unique and desirable E39 wood trims — the ones that make even seasoned BMW fans do a double-take.
