Anybody in US get anthracite headliner or shadowline trim w/o ordering sport package?

Hi, I'm in the USA and I'm ordering a new X5 and was curious if anybody was able to get either or both the anthracite headliner or shadowline trim for their E70s without ordering the Sport Package? Has anybody REPLACED the standard headliner and/or chrome window trim with either of these products? I truly don't desire any of the other parts of the sport package besides these two. Thanks a lot for any help

The anthracite headliner gives the interior a black roof and door pillars, I believe thats it. With the sport package I'm paying probably mostly for the wheels and seats, not the cloth and plastic of the headliner and window trim. And since I'm thinking about getting the saddle brown (if it is in fact an option for the 08) I would have three different colors in the interior if the pics I saw are correct...saddle brown seats (and floor?), black dash and grey headliner. Who came up with this combo?

NEVERMIND THE HEADLINER QUESTION... There are so many pieces involved including things like the visors that I don't think its possible to have it done after production. The trim on the other hand is a far different story I think... anybody know?

A LOT of what you are paying for as well, is for the ample suspension upgrades i.e. electronic damping/anti roll stabilization. You also get a very nice FAT 3 spoke sport steering wheel. Rumor also has it that the sport package will now come with the high end comfort/contour seats .

I have never heard of those 2 items being ordered separately. Folks have replaced the trim though, but not inexpensively.

Try the search. Many have done it on the E53.
