That the combo I have. I was a bit surprised because I didn't realize the maple was 'open pore' until it showed up. The color and grain of the maple are good, but I did expect a gloss finish like my previous BMWs.
The piece around my center console especially is kind of rough to the touch. I wonder how well it will wear with time.
Make sure you look at it with the bin/cupholder door closed--that's the biggest piece.
I've only had the car a few weeks, so I'll still giving myself time to get used to it. But I am considering applying a wax if not a full varnish to the wood, assuming I can find out how to remove them safely. I think there's only four pieces of wood.
