I’m sure you’re fascination with the wood dash is to make up for lack of wood elsewhere Fredfirebobby said:You blooming heathens, feast your eyes. No veneer in here

Done properly on the right car in the right location it looks great. Was looking at a new RR drophead in Puerto Banus yesterday and it looked awesome. Dash, doors centre, rear deck, etc. Harked back to the Riva launches and suited it way better than cf or ss.
On a Z4 - not for me, or even these days yachts and launches, but each to their own

I was thinking something similar, jeeper.
On a rainy day in England with the roof up it just doesn't make sense. However, sparkling clean, roof down and parked outside a posh waterside cafe in the Mediterranean I think it would have a certain charm to it. It's definitely one of those things that needs everything else to be exactly right to make it work.

maybe,? maybe not.? I like the Audi laminate better but still go for the old high gloss polished walnut or maple.
my pals '06 has a beautiful wood trim and I keep threatening to steal it and put some class into my Z4M R, not a fan of the "greaser" look, black leather is boring ... and hot.
To each their own I say

Jolly boating weather. One for a boat race crew member. 
Classic wood

Not really.
I've owned some older Jaguars and Jensens that had extensive veneer in the interiors and was great - but I agree that it looks a bit out of place in a modern BMW.
Having restored a Jag Mk 9 including the extensive wood, we should be thankful it isn't found much in modern stuff - my fingers ached for a week after hand sanding everything!
wspohn, it was well worth the effort - your dash looks fantastic.
I've always loved these ever since my uncle borrowed £50 from my Mum (his sister) to buy one in the late 60s. It was a grey one with red leather and had a cocktail cabinet in the rear, but it was rotten as a pear so didn't last long!
But I'll never forget being a passenger in it on a spirited drive - it sounded great and felt like a rocket-ship. :lol: Mind you my Dad had a Hillman Minx at the time, so I suppose it would!
BTW I just read your signature - you seem to like MGAs! A mate of mine bought one last year with a works hard-top, MGB engine bored to 1950 cc and tuned a bit and fitted with a Ford 5 speed box. It's a lovely car!
