I am converting my 635 CSi from auto to manual.
This involves removing the auto gear shifter and replacing with leather gaiter and obviously gear lever and knob
I am having a new leather gaiter made to fit the plastic frame but I don't know what colour leather to choose.
The car has silver (silber) grey leather upholstery, so I am looking at either grey to match, or black as a contrast.
I thought it should be grey but looking at some pictures on the internet I have noticed some grey interiors have a black leather gaiter.
I want the car to look as though this modification is a as near to stock as possible...so any advice would be appreciated

I like the contrast. Go black.

Grey The contrast is not needed as the interiors were subtle from the factory and will look classier with a match to the rest of the upholstery
