Hi. I ordered mine at www.bekkers.com Only took about 3 days to get them. I live in Rhode Island so delivery should be similar for you. My friend got his at Inskip BMW in Warwick, RI. They were pretty close in price. BTW, I am thinking we should have a Mass, Conn, RI meet. You interested??

My dealer was out of stock, so they ordered them and got them in a few days. On such an inexpensive item, the shipping charge by ordering online is often almost as much as the item itself.

Why not go for body-colored? That will be a telltale sign of a newer car in the US.

While, in my opinion, the body colored inserts are a VAST improvement over the ugly black ones used in the 2004 cars, I still think they look out of place. They look better on the darker colors, but for the lighter colors, I think the reflectors still look best. The problem w/ the colored inserts is that they still don't fit very well. By that I mean they should be flush with rest of the bumper, not causing an indentation like they do. At least the ones I've noticed driving from a distance didn't seem to fit very well. If they fit as well as the plugs over the tow hook/tie downs did, then they would be fine. Just my .02

I like how they look on my car, they fit very nicely and the inserts are well rounded and finished.

[/quote]Actually, I think your pic does a good job of illustrating why I got the red reflectors. With the body colored ones that came on my car, they looked like an add-on, plus look at the gaps, which are uneven (the top edge much smaller than the 3 other sides, and the right side larger than the rest).
