EU has made any change in the relevant regulation (think the area which must be visible in the mirror has been increased, not sure). Guess the reason is to improve visibility of objects behind.

Yes, and the new pedestrian safety requirements which have altered the front styling of many vehicles for the worse.

Since no actual car exists with the bicycle reflector (just the photoshop on the website) it seems nearly certain it will be like the ones at the LA show.

Hahaha, Is that a spike which would kill you if you crash?

it looks like they just taped them on the car. i going to try and see if i can get them deleted when i order my M3. theres no use for them and they really make the front look bad.

You can't get them deleted. It's not an accessory.
It's called "law".

I assume someone could buy a Euro front bumper and have it replaced. Does BMW sell the bumpers pre-painted or do you have to paint them at a shop?
Plus you could always recoup some cash by selling your US spec bumper on eBay

Maybe an easier thing would be to buy clear reflectors to replace the POS orange ones.
