Yeah when the light isn't sharp so the metallic flecks don't sparkle, the paint will give off an LSB similarity. Especially when you don't wash it in the winter. LOLQuote:

This was the interior when we got it... you can't really see the blue in the cloth centers of the seats.

This was after I DI-NOC'd all the wood. The console was a bitch!

This was the BMW cargo liner. It covered every inch of the interior including the tailgate:

We also got the BMW cargo divider which was a heavy duty metal reinforced divider between the front seats and the rear compartment. It solidly attached to the ceiling mounts and special mount in the seats when folded down.
Another shot of the front:

Make sure you're actually anchored in the metal or it'll rip the plastic out of the headliner and it'll never fit quite right again.
Edit: ask me how I know
Yep, that why we got the MDX... technology wise far superior to the X5 reliable as hell but not nearly as fun... at least its rated at 300 HP so it still has some ballsQuote:
