I assume you're aware of the body color option from IND. I realize you asked about clear, but just wanted to make sure you'd seen these too.

Agree. Wondering how long before someone comes out with these.

Just checked the various sites and eBay for the clear front reflectors. Still nothing out there yet. If anyone comes across some, please post them here. TIA

That would be awesome. (fingers crossed)


These are nice, but I would prefer the clear reflector... To me, this looks like a filler for an option I didn't buy, the reflector looks like it was designed to be there.

I just contacted another seller on eBay that sells several clear front reflectors for other BMWs. They said they "may" sell them in the future.

I was about to ask the same and found this in my search. Anyone find any yet? I don't have my car yet so don't need them today. I just like this solution a lot more than the painted ones. Even with the painted ones, you can tell that something's supposed to be there but isn't. With the clear, the right thing is in the hole, it's just a much less intrusive color.

I continue to check for clear front reflectors without any luck. I have sent messages to several eBay vendors that sell them for other BMW models. No luck .. the hunt continues.

I'm glad someone else is still checking around. I haven't had any luck either. If someone makes one of decent quality I'll order a set in like 15 seconds .

I'm right there with you...

Most people like color matched, which is fine, but there is a hole there, it looks like it is an option you didn't get... in my humble opinion.
