IND has been supplying painted reflectors for BMW cars since our company’s inception in 2006, and in that time, we’ve helped give tens of thousands of cars this subtle transformation.
The F87 M2 is no different, and IND will once again help BMW owners cure the front of the car of the unsightly orange reflectors. Unlike the previous cars, however, OE BMW reflectors have dramatically increased in price. As many IND fans know, IND uses only OE BMW reflectors for our cores in order to ensure perfect fit and finish of our painted reflectors.
Unfortunately, it seems that BMW has noticed the increased demand for reflectors, and has dramatically increased the price of their OE cores! Where the F82 M4 core price was at a previously (vaguely) reasonable $52 for the pair, the F87 M2’s core price has increased to $112.70! The new price of the original BMW reflectors means that we’ll spend nearly $100 on the core part, before any sanding, priming, paint, or buffing work commences.
While we will of course continue providing painted reflectors to our loyal client base, we wanted to publicly explain the increase in pricing. IND will be working diligently to pursue alternative avenues to provide painted reflectors to our clients, but will never do so at the expense of an ideal fit and finish. We will of course keep the community up to date as new developments occur!
