Trim choices: Burled Walnut vs. Birds Eye Maple vs. Aluminum
imo:
Birds eye looks weathered, and was cool only when the car was new.
Aluminum is sporty, but a tad boring and generic, appliance like.
Burled walnut is nice, but very common.
I have aluminum and when it comes down to it I will probably leave it be as it does look sort of chic... but Burled Walnut is nice... question is whether its worth the time and money to install.

Only if it comes from the excitement and satisfaction of driving it.
I have the walnut and it is fine, but personally like the aluminum better. The aluminum seems harder to find and when I was looking at buying the ones with it generally seemed to be more base models. There is no right or wrong answer here. That sort of thing is a personal preference. Get what YOU like the best.

A car
I had a Audi B7 A4 with real aluminum trim and I hated it/regretted getting it. Again, I'm old school, but I'm glad I insisted on the burl walnut on the W204 (I have the sport package).
Best decision I ever made for a car!! Classy and warm. Love it.
