It seems to depend on the motivation/clout/luck of your CA, and unfortunately, one apparently has to commit to buying a car before getting a commitment that the factory will install these options.

Don't know why they make it so hard on their the largest and most important market for ///M cars. They seem to be perfectly happy to sell these as standard options in other countries.
I didn't know it was an option--neither did my sales guy at the time since I asked (repeatedly). Good to know, though.

The M8 I have now kinda renders it moot since the jog dial is so different. Certainly feels more modern but I'd say it could still benefit from the ceramic treatment.
