Because of the cosmetic issues and discussion around replacing the part. On M3's (including the CS and the heritage) and M2's previously it has just been a skin panel that is not structural. Not much worse than replacing a fender etc. On the CS it is installed from the inside from the info released, and is a structural component. It's not something the dealer or any old body shop is going to be doing basically.
