You can only buy the Anthracite wood "after market" and exchange it yourself but BMW would charge 1'900 CHF for the Anthracite wood
P1 is Priority 1. I don't know if this applies to Europe but we have it in the US. Priority 1 options are options only available for a customer ordered car. They are not available for the dealers to order for cars they buy to sit on the lot for sale.

One example of a P1 option in the US is Anthracite headliner on the 5 series. It has always been available independent of the now offered M-Sport package.

The thing with P1 options is some dealers don't push them or even let the customer know they are available.

Unless you follow these forums and keep up with that stuff, most people would probably not know they exist.
