Personally, I love my E46 M3 seats and I would never go back to the stock seats, even for pristine Natural Brown. I agree on the all black interior needing a bit of contrast. My plan is to either find a Cinnamon M3 interior (hah!) or source some good condition silver cube. My sister's 330Xi black interior has silver cube and I definitely appreciate the contrast. The trick is finding a set that's not in rough shape.
