Hmm makes me wonder if you could replace the wheel with the ceramic version... |
I've read elsewhere the wheel isn't sold by itself. RealOEM suggest the part is shared on the F01 and F10 so yes it should be a direct replacement if you got an iDrive controller with ceramic version.
However the part is like $500+. If you disassemble the controller like I did it probably would cost no more than $50 to have the silver pieces powder coated any color you want. The ceramic color after all is just paint. It would probably be even cheaper and easier to just use a lightweight wrap. Plus then it could be removed.
