I just called my local dealer in Mississauga Ontario Canada (Near Toronto) Mississauga BMW and they want almost $550 just for the parts no labor! Does anyone ship this trim to Canada and what about aftermarket?

Not sure, but you might give this guy a try. He's listed in the new member forums, but DRANGED has known him a long time. Worth a shot to see if he'll ship to Canada.

Another tip - Get a rubber mallet to bang the bottom pieces in place. Other than that it was very easy and great DIY write up.

I would add that you should cover the trim with cloth before "tapping" it in place.
I didn't "bang" them in place at all, I pressed them in using my hand. I can't be THAT strong can I?
