My comment was in reference to the typical parts counter rep, which will not likely know. BMW has had the pieces ready for some time overseas, programming has not been approved for US BMW dealers yet.

The BMW retrofit (when available) will require a FRM3 module is installed in order to accept programming, adding to the cost.
