Everyone I need some help. I'm about to order my 550, but really want to have it with the anthracite headliner. When the dealership tries to look up the option, they can't find code 775 for the headliner.

The interior color combo I'm going for is the natural brown leather & light poplar.

Has anyone ordered their 550 recently with the anthracite headliner? If yes, how did you get the dealership to do it? Is there a different ordering system that they need to look at? Also, does that mean the interior pillars are colored black/anthracite?

Thanks in advance for the help!!!

We will be taking delivery of our 550i next weekend and has the Anthracite Headliner. Tell the Dealer that he needs to look under the "Priority One Options"

Hope this helps.

TJ, thanks. I did mention to the dealership to look at priority 1 ordering but the person that I've been dealing with didn't know what priority 1 was. I wonder why the sales person doesn't know about it?

That would be a sign you are dealing with the wrong salesperson and possibly the wrong dealership.

What dealership is it?

Dealing with Weatherford in Berkeley,CA. Out of all the dealerships in the SF Bay Area, they have given me the best deal over all the other dealerships by $400.

I emailed my sales rep (Ron Hansen, BMW NW in Washington) to change to anthracite on my order a few days ago; I had a call back from him within about 15 minutes confirming its availability on the 550i, informing me of the option price, and making the change. Cal

I'm pretty sure all 550s come with the anthracite headliner as it is part of the MSport package and the Sport package ............... Good Luck !
