I asked the BMW dealership parts manager yesterday if I could buy some of this wood to "upgrade" my car. He gave me a puzzled look and said it would be at least $2,200 to do this. "That wood is expensive," he said.
Is this reasonable? Does this guy know what he's talking about?
I have reason to suspect he doesn't, because the dealership has to be one of the worst in the BMW network. I have so many stories ...
I'd appreciate any feedback members could give me.

My 2003 car only had wood on the dash and around the I drive knob.

BTW $2,200 for 6 bits of wood sounds like theft to me! :thumbsdown:
