Default Audi Brushed Aluminum Trim vs Carbon Fiber
Has anyone seen the brushed aluminum in an RS4 interior? I have an 2003 BMW M5 with brushed aluminum and it looks great...any thoughts? -- thanks --

BTW I test drove an RS 4 last week and it blows away my 03 M5. This is not to say the M5 is not a great car, it is to say the RS 4 is that good!

The aluminum looks really good with the Euro steering wheel.

CF fits the car period. Aluminum doesn't feel right.

Default CF by far! Faster(2clean)&Lighter. AL-dated(like Cardboard) CF-hi-perf(like RS4w/drycell:)
the ratio is all that matters... drivers are limited to the ratio

Lighter? I guess every oz helps against 4000 lbs, eh?

Default Saw a PB/Ebony with Brushed Aluminum Trim but opted for Carbon Fiber instead.
It just seems right on the RS4.
