Your dealer is being lazy or doesnt know how this process works. Its not your dealer that approves it, its BMW's M / Individual division. Just ask your dealer to send in your specs to BMW M in Germany and they'll come back to you with the timing of how long it will take and the pricing.
Good luck!

Thanks for the advice, I think they are just lazy. They said no one has ever requested it and they have never done it so they can't do it.
Basically if it's not on the options list (it's not) then it is not available.
Unfortunately Taiwan distributor has exclusive rights (for all BMW in Taiwan) so if they don't want to do it, there's nothing I can do, it's not like I can go to another dealer because they all go though the same HQ. |
You can also reach out to BMW Germany yourself. This way your dealer doesn't have to do any work.
That's what I did. My dealer in US checked with BMW US and they said no. So dealer said it can't be done. I went over him to BMW in Germany and they approved it. They sent the pricing to my dealer and that was it.
That's the whole point of individual. You can almost pick anything that is not on the standard offering and they will do it for although at a steep cost...
