Default is Piano Black Standard in the center console? if not, how come it's not listed

in the order form?

Also if it's not standard, what is the standard option for center console.

I am thinking piano black will be nothing but pain to finger prints, dirt, scratches, etc.

Stainless or carbon might be the way to go.

Default No, brushed aluminum is standard. Attached is a link to give you an idea.

Default oh god, so where do you find the options for inlay around the button?

Stainless steel door trim / Piano black around console

Atlas Carbon / ???

Brushed Aluminum / ????

Where the heck did you guys even find piano black? are you guys looking at another order form other than online?

Default Pearl Silver is leather color.

Combos:
Brushed Aluminum on doors and brushed aluminum around on the console.
Stainless on the doors and Piano Black on the console.
Carbon Atlas on doors and Carbon Atlas on the console.

Hope that helps.

Default Correction, that is a A5 interior...

Pearl Silver is lighter...that is Light Gray leather. But that should give you a good idea regarding the Brushed Aluminum.

Default Carbon and aluminum have matching consoles to match door trim, vavona wood also.

I like the piano black in my car and ive had it for over 2 months.

all of your concerns and problems you have been facing are simple to resolve: ruhhhhlax, just order the damn car, you'll like it a lot. As others have mentioned its a new car to everyone, I brought mine to a local dealer a month ago and everyone there had never seen one. Dont blame dealers for not knowing everything about this car. Almost all the salesman at my dealership drove Bimmers. Your best bet is to email your salesman questions and he can look it up for you. People here know almost everything though. I know a lot of the answers to questions you post but its annoying to answer everything you ask, look through old pages on this forum and I promise they were covered before.
