I wish I had seen this thread before ordering from bimmian. I bought my painted reflectors early Dec so they'd be ready for when my e90 arrived. I picked her up on Wed and tried installing these last night. Boy are they a shoddy fit! It's absolutely the gap the OP referenced is definitely there and the overall fit and finish is very poor. A piece of the back is even missing as if the melted plastic never filled that area of the mold --- yet it got by whatever QC (if any) they had! I went to see if I could return it, and there system said because it was over 45 days - no refunds and even with a refund they want to charge a 25% restocking fee... even though their product is defective!!! I've purchased a bunch of stuff from them before without issue, but most looked like they were dropped shipped items from other manufacturers. This was the first item of there's I actually bought.
Buyers beware of Bimmian!

+1 for IND. Got the painted reflectors and keyhole delete from them. What I received was perfection in paint and fitment. They paint the OEM parts so you are getting OEM fitment.
I tossed out the other ones I got and didn't even bother with a return.

$25 call tag is BS. They must have a really terrible shipping account. Under no circumstance should the buyer pay for return if the product is defective. My two cents

Same problem here. I ordered AW painted reflectors from Jlevi, which apparently get them from bimmian, and fitment sucks. I'm gonna get a new set from IND and see how they fit.

Fitment can't be any better, since IND is painting OEM reflectors.

Same thing here bought them for my E46 about 5 years ago and they fit perfect so ordered some for my E92 and they fit like crap. Then they said I wasn't installing them correctly finally sent them back and only got a site credit. All bimmians stuff reeks of cheapness. I ordered CF ones from autotecknic and they fit snug into place.
