Great looking car in a great setting. Nice pictures. I'm suprised Spanish owners also get the ugly orange reflectors...

jacoboij · 12-27-2008, 11:17 AM

It`s a US Spec. Bought it back in the US and got it shipped

I have no idea why every has such an objection to the reflectors. If I had a choice, yes I would go for a clean bumper, but I think the "colored" inserts look worse.

with that being said i don't care much for the painted. If bmw would have at least made them mount flush the painted mod would look so much better. I might opt for the clear reflectors

Welcome mate....any mods planned for the car?

jamesisel · 12-27-2008, 12:01 PM

Spain needs to do something about those plates

I felt the same way until I mounted my painted versions and saw what a difference they made, especially on black! There in fact flush mount options out there but they painted OE pieces are superior in fit and finish.

They are temporary plates until I get the proper ones. I agree, these ones are ugly but i will have them for just 2 more weeks.
