Tried to order thru a vendor and received the standard version which I have to return. Anyone have one for sale? Any color? Or know if any colors are still available from BMW?
I tried to track down whether it was NLA in all colors but cannot find enough information.
This makes me think the part numbers are wrong.

I'm 100% sure that part 31 in the BMW fans page is actually incorrect.
The image is irrelevant, it's incorrect.
If you look at realOEM as well, on any NA-spec M5 I've ever seen, the image of part 31 never shows up. The catalogue just uses the image for the stock shifter filler:
If you look at this page:
You will see two part numbers that others have ordered:
51162237023
51161969110
The schwartz one (023) even has a picture, including the order invoice:
Now go back to the bmwfans.info page:
...guess where those 2 items show up?
Item 2.
So once again, ignore the picture - it's wrong.
51 16 8 138 278 is the M5 Parchment surround.
Believe me, I spent a lot of time digging allllll over the place when I was trying to track down mine in black leather, as opposed to vinyl. (51 16 2 237 026, by the way.) I think it was NLA and I ended up buying an anthracite one... I'll have to check.
