My Ride: 2005 545i Sport, Premium, Logic 7, Jet Black, Black Leather, M-Aero Kit, 15% (very dark) Tint, Eichbach Lowering Springs, Red Brake Calipers, Radenergie R-10's, Michelin PilotSport2 in 245/35/20 and 285/30/20, Rolled Fenders, and a nifty Graco Baby Car Seat.
Next Up: Xenon fogs, Eisemann Exhaust, iPod Interface, Comfort Seats.
What was involved in changing the leather from black to this new color? Just buying new skins- is that easy? What is approx US cost of such an endeavor?

Go to realoem.com and you'll figure out how costly it is.
You'll need rear seat, rear back rest, 4 leather door panels, 2 front head rest, leather for front seats.
It guess it's more than a couple grand.

It all depends on how much.
New wheel tire packages are $6k+.
If new leather (say M style leather) is $2k, that's a great interior upgrade- to me.
Granted, I'm rediculous and should have just bought the M5. After all the money I've put into my 545i, I should be in an M5. Stupid.
Next car: M5, get it done, don't look back.
Wait, what about a 911 C4S
