I also think I've managed to get the part number for the stock dark chrome exhaust tips that will come on the M5/M6 M Performance Editions that are exclusive to the UK. The number does not currently show up as valid in any parts system (Europe or otherwise) but apparently came off the tip itself. (I'm not the only one interested, apparently.)

That's what I thought
I spent a week with BMW in Germany on this and they finally admitted there's no plan for a middle console piece to fit the CF kit.
You are correct the middle console will probably wear better not being CF but I somehow now have my mind set on a new mini project and either build a fitting CF piece or look into covering the entire console in matching black leather
As for the exhaust tips I tried the avenue of the UK Performance Edition tips but they can't be sourced at this time. Hence I went with my own "creation"
