OEM part number for black front side reflector?

Curious if anyone had the OEM part number. I found the number for the Kidney grill and the side marker in all black. I know IND makes this stuff very well but I get parts at cost so might as well do OEM

Holy shit.

You worded this so poorly that my brain hurts from trying to understand this.

BMW doesn't make a black front side reflector. It's orange.

What does this have to do with your request? Useless information

So you want to buy the OEM orange one's and paint them black yourself?

Jesus.

After a shot of espresso i've decided that what you want is a part number for the OEM orange side reflectors in the front bumper.

Do you not know how to use google? It takes 5 seconds to look that up.

Sorry for my poor writing. It's early here. I want properly painted ones. My point of writing about the kidney grill was that if it exists then likely other blacked out parts exist. I found the orange one but I want black. My understanding is that in Europe they are body colour. So therefore oem would make them in black.

Your understanding is wrong.

European bumpers don't have any reflectors. Period.

They aren't painted the same color as the car. They just simply aren't there. There are no cut outs in the bumper.

Therefore bmw DOES NOT MAKE painted reflectors.

IND is the only place that sells/makes them. Buy them there.

Just get them from IND? wtf is this post?

Thanks for the help guys. Yes I am new. And yes I'm excited about the car. No need to be hostile. Happy to buy from IND. obviously prefer OEM where that is an option.

If you really wanna go all in, I believe IND also sells the Euro OEM front bumper

Hey Buddy


My OEM M Performance (aka black) side Grilles i ordered with the car through the dealer. IND has them for sale (OEM). Think you were throwing people off by calling them side markers, but i understood.


Have a great day!

Anyone have URL or YouTube URL to relace the side grilles

TIA

The side grilles are ridiculously easy. Just tape around it and use a pry tool to pop it off. New one goes on easy. Front grilles much more trouble.
