Chrome Interior Trim, Still Available?

I have been searching a long time and finally found the part #'s for the chrome interior trim pieces for the ti. Years ago I saw some of these chrome interior trim pieces on a ti and I thought they looked great. I want to install all this stuff, does anyone have dealer connections to see if any of these items are still available? Thanks in advance. This wouuld be greatly appreciated.

Here are the part numbers of the chrome pices for the ti:

Sunroof switch trim 61-31-2-268-901 $ 8.70
Window switch trim 51-16-2-492-465 $13.90

*this part is not on file with BMW dealerships, but BMWNA has the number on
their system. It has to be forced ordered.

Cool! I found all of the parts are available! Checked it out from Pelican Parts. Thought some of you might be interested. They really aren't that gaudy. Real OEM BMW Bling!

Let me know if you like the quality of it. The prices don't look bad at all compared to HSM. HSM sells the headlight knob for $26! The quality looks great but I rather pay $6.

The prices were from a post I found from 1998. They haven't changed much though. These are the prices I just got from Pelican parts:

Sunroof sw. trim 61 31 2 268 901 $8.90
Window sw. trim 51 16 2 492 465 $12.30
Lock knobs 51 21 8 399 243 $3.15
Locking sw. trim 51 16 2 493 739 $9.00
Inside door handle (L) 51 21 2 261 145 $35.75
Inside door handle (R) 51 21 2 261 146 $35.75
Mid range speaker 65 13 2 268 908 $69.25
Tweeter speaker 65 13 2 268 905 $67.50
Headlight sw. knob 61 31 8 389 880 $6.40
Headlight sw. trim cover 61 31 8 400 004 $6.83

From memory, when I saw this stuff around '98, it looked excellent. I don't think I am going to get the door speaker trim, it might be a bit much. I'll post some pics after I get the stuff installled.

Is there anyother type of trim available for say a 98 TI besides CF or Chrome?

old thread, but I just ordered the chrome switches for the light switches
