IMPULSIVE PURCHASE ALERT:

Just scored a set of OEM titan Trims from our friends in Ebay UK, for a whopping $195, CD player, rear cupholder, ashtray trim, center console, 4 door trims, and I know I have to get 3 dash pieces elsewhere for LHD but its ok. Couldn't resist

Hell yes it does, ridiculous! I noticed if you wanted to buy it new, including CD piece, from Tischer BMW (Get BMW Parts.com) is about $720, which means the $900 set on ebay is being sold for full retail if not more.

Still too rich for me at $700 though. Here is a pic of the trims I won:



Just need my new shifter (haven't decided on matching Titan silver knob or a ZHP knob), and the 3 LHD dash pieces and good to go!

And to Brandon above, yes Titan trims were an option, some 4.6 have them, they match the door handles and door pulls on the pre-facelift. On facelift models, the door pulls and handles are Graphite metallic (slightly darker), and there was actually a Graphite trim set to match the door pulls and handles on facelift models available.

If you wanted Titan trims on the facelift, you'd need to get a set that had the door pulls and handles just so that you don't have mismatching colors of greys on the inside.
