I currently have the gloss black center console. I'm currently looking for the Carbon Fiber Center console or black ash wood. Anyone know where to look for them without paying high OEM pricing?

Not what you are looking for but you can wrap it.

I'm debating whether or not to wrap it. I think it would cost around $300 to wrap it. I think it would be a better investment to buy the console because I would be able to sell it later on. Another question I have is why there isn't many people selling parts on the forums? On the BMW forum, there were so many people selling Oem/aftermarket parts

Mercedes has a smaller modding community than BMW, especially for the W205 platform and even more so for the C43. Good luck finding that centre console.

Don't forget the typical buyer demographics of the two brands. With exception to AMG cars, the typical buyer is upper income Gen Xers. They have the money to just pay their way through an obstacle instead of modding themselves. This coupled with low population willing to mod results in high prices typically on anything aftermarket/non-OEM.

The aftermarket part cost about the same as OEM, I'm not sure there is much value in that. Just get the wrap.
