Titanium interior trim?

Right now I have light wood trim in my X5 with Nav., and I would like to get the titanium silver. Where can I buy it? I would also like to change my kidney grill. Right now I have chrome grill, and if someone has black, I would like to switch.

Thanks.

Trim options:
1. Macon BMW - Georgia (ask for the X5world discount )
2. eBay
3. Local dealer
4. Other discount dealers such as Crevier, Pacific, Circle, etc.

Grill options
I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding someone to swap grills with you. Most people have the black and want the titanium, so you'll likely find many takers. You should indicate whether you have an 00-03 or an 04-06, as they are different parts.

Thanks for the info.
I have the 2002 3.0i. And I did call the local dealer, but the price that they gave me was ridiclous, $1,500 for the set of 11 pieces, plus the install $1,100. I would not like to spend that much, and I would do it my self.

I agree with doing it yourself. All of the trim pieces just pop on and off easily with the exception of the console trim. The console itself needs to be removed in order to do that swap. There's some DIY tips on doing that in the INTERIOR section on the home page.

Keep an eye on eBay. These are rare, but they do pop up every now and then and tend to go in the $500 to $800 range.

Actually this eBay seller, Roveractive, has 4 X5 titanium trim kits currently up for sale ranging from $549.95 to $749.95.

Here's a link for all Ti kits on sale:
http://motors.search.ebay.com/BMW-X5...m_W0QQfromZR40

The prices vary based on nav or non-nav, etc. Also the kits do not include the matching steering wheel trim piece or shift nob, both of which are available through separate auctions.

These prices are pretty good - I've seen complete sets of used (take-offs) Titanium trim pieces sell for $350 up to $550 compared to these pieces which are new. Used Ti trim doesn't show up often on eBay, so waiting for the best possible deal could take months.
