I just received my new 330ci ZHP the other day - it has the alcantara with black cube trim. I love the interior - the look and feel is great. I actually wanted to get leather but my fiance doesn't like the feel of it and this is going to be her car. I've gotten at least 5-6 positive comments on the fabric, everyone seems to be impressed by it.
The alcantara definitely accents the steering wheel nicely, or maybe it's the other way around.
I just bought the 330i M Perf, and opted for the Alcantara/Silver Cube Trime without even seeing it! However, Ive heard nothing but good news about it, plus I was already over my budget meaning the extra $2400 for leather would have hurt more :P
Agree - haven't seen any good pics of the Alcantara interior. We test drove ZHPs with leather and with the Alcantara and liked the look and the feel of the Alcantara better - I know that you will enjoy it. We finalized our deal last week and will pick up the car in Munich in July....can't wait!

Thanks Poot. Interesting to see it in right hand drive (I assume your in the UK somewhere). Our seats are black cloth with Alcantara on the sides - yours looks like leather (Is it?). Additionally we have an Alcantara wrapped steering wheel (for better or worse - don't know - seems nice - but I like the straigth up leather). Otherwise I (will) have the same/similar silver cube trim...looks nice!

Thanks again Poot - so it is the same cloth is seems (thogh yours seems more gray and ours (ZHP) black. I found it to grip and feel very nice on my test drives and I perferred it to the leather. I don't remember if ours (ZHP) has it (Alcantara) on the headrests or not - otherwise looks the same.
Scotland eh...
