Indicator lights on wheel arches
When did they stop putting the indicator lights on the front wheel arches?
I can find images of them with that setup as late as 2012 - does anyone know when it was officially changed? |

Are you referring to the side indicator above and right as you look at the front wheels? If so that has never gone away. Question seems a bit hard to answer.

They are still there. under the E89 35i. I got parts from them they have never listed on the website though. Just have to contact them and tell them what you need.

I did not like the Orange Front reflectors or the rear red reflecters. As well, I did not like the look/color of the white side markers lights and Red 3rd brake light. I removed all of the them and wrapped them in a 20% dark/smoked film. Easy mod, pennies for the film, reversible and changable any any time. I had the same film on my Acura for 4 years with no deterioration.

Seems like it'll be easy to take them off and paint them yourself.

Taking them off without damaging them is a challenge. They are glued to the bumper cover with some nasty double face tapes which then need to be scrubbed off. I did this for 4 cars so I know... Color matching is kind of a hassle with not just the paint but the clear coat. Then after you paint it, you need to put double face tape on.

Yup. They are sending me body-match replacements for the red reflectors on the rear in addition to body-match replacements for the reflectors on the arches. Not a fan of either. (The white side markers don't bother me because the car is Alpine White.)

What I will never understand are the people who have some generic "BMW" plate in lieu of their DMV-issued plate. If you are going to drill holes in the bumper and hang something there, why not the actual plate? |
