In order for something to have more value than other option it has to be both special and in demand. Demand means there are significantly more buyers than the product availability and there is no realistic path to duplicate that product.
When demand is significant and forecasted to at least maintain a level of volume to realize a return on the investment there will be aftermarket competition, more often than not, better than the original product. Another indication there is demand is if many of any version of that same product is available for sale in a broad reaching sales network, such as eBay. Finally, there will be indications that, in this case, the X5 will appreciate.
Short story--if you have cosmos trim and you think hundreds of X5 owners are spending sleepless nights trying to find a set, sell it now.
