Upgrade M-sport 19" to 20" M double spoke 310 wheels costs AU$8,870 (~US$9,253)?!

I ordered 2013 X3 with M-sport couple weeks ago. Now that I ask the dealer if I can upgrade the M-sport 19" wheels to 20" M double spoke 310 wheels and tires? The dealer said this is a dealer fit accessary option and referred me to accessaries department.

The accessary department came back and said it would cost AU$8,870 including the fitting, balance and alignment, which is equivalently to ~US$9,253.

I asked what if I bought the set instead of trade-in the 19" that comes with the M-sport package, the price is AU$11,970, which is 1/7 the cost of the car!!

I found that BWM USA is selling it at US$5,995 (http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...cessories.aspx), BMW at UK is selling it at $4,450 Pound (~US$6,756), http://www.bmw.co.uk/en/topics/owner...ryId=5079.html.

These are the prices for new set, not trade-in. I'm not sure why the same one in Australia costs so much, almost double?! What do you think? Anyone have done a similar upgrade or purchase of this 310 wheels? Any suggestions of what I can do?
