As for the IS, I still rather have the dark colored wood (Not black wood) with black interior. That is my top interior combo with any car.

Okay we now get to see a close-up of the non-wood trim.
Again, the Japanese model get to have such features as TV and MD player.
Anyone can make out what that "AUTO P" button next to the left radio **** does? Never seen such a wording before.
The button is in the GS too:

From the color it looks plastic to me. 
Will have to wait to see in person but the wood might be richer looking, I was hoping they could make the aluminum really sporty looking, that color looks kinda drab, it matches the same color around the nav buttons. I do like the shifter chrome though.

I'll take the wood

BMW 330 with wood trim interior is quite common & it certainly does not make it less of a sports sedan
