The trim is made in a Beige shade, matching the factory interior configurations of the BMW X5 E70 with a light-colored dashboard. This color choice helps maintain a uniform cockpit appearance after replacing the part, without tonal differences between the new trim and other panels. The beige finish complements light upholstery, headliners, and other plastic elements in the same shade.
