I went to two different shops recommended by the dealer. They do a lot of BMW's. One wanted 15K, and the other wanted 14K. They would have to completely take the car apart. Not worth it.

i also love carbonblack and if we were ever to get the Msport option in the US, its part of the package... but, if you have a good dealership and you are willing to spend some $$$ and wait several months, you can get it on any E60....
