Disagree. Why would you want more black surfaces after going out of your way to select a non-black interior? The top of the dash needs to be a dark color to eliminate reflection off the windshield, but the lower dash, center console lid, and front seat backs should definitely not be black.
My thinking is the rest of the console is black, so let's keep the lid black so it visually disappears. I see no need or desire to highlight the center console with a lid covering in a contrasting color. Besides- A black kid hides wear and soiling better, and would lower the overall cost if BMW only has to make black lids.

I feel so strongly that a black lid looks better I'd buy a black lid and swap out the color keyed lid.
