Lower bumper fog light surrounds are blue?

pz619 · 12-29-2015, 05:36 PM

My friend brought her F30 over to pick up some tires. She has a 2013 Sportline 328i, nearly identical to my previous car. She pointed out that the plastic around the fog lights were blue and not black. Sure enough, on closer review they weren't black. You can really see the contrast against the black grills. Has anyone seen or experienced this? I pulled up pictures of my old F30 and it was the same color as the grills. Thoughts?

And here is the picture. That's one dirty bumper though...

They should be black, there is likely a defect or some sort of fading in this case. I seem to recall there was a similar post with this issue awhile ago as well.

I thought I saw one too. I will try to dig up the original post.
