I wouldn't think so...the brochures say they come primed.
But, if you look at Roveractive's listing for m-body kit it specifically mentions: "This listing is for a painted kit. You can also order a primed kit which you can have painted at your shop of preference. Please provide your paint code and complete VIN upon ordering so we can match your car's color perfectly. BMW will paint your pieces to match identically at its facility in Germany." http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E...31060729QQrdZ1 So I am not 100% sure...

As the m-tech body kit is a factory fitted option in europe, it's not hard to imagine, they have all these odd bits and pieces painted and ready to go...

How are you planning on getting the kit in? local dealer? Specialty outlet? You might want to enquire with them.

The factory is good at spraying the whole car and accesories, but colours fade with time and vary by batch.

By 'matching' I meant having the vehicle present and using a skilled eye to get the mix perfect. As factory colours vary slightly during production runs.
