Oh, I get it. I personally like the amber look, but this is a case of wanting what you can't have. Having spent a good portion of my youth in Italy, I remember people clamoring for the red blinker lenses, whenever they saw an American car or the yellow headlights sometimes sported by the visiting British tourists. I always get compliments on the amber or red covers from my European visitors who tell me that they hate the bland look of their clear lenses over there. It's amazing how human nature is so universal. If you can't have something, you usually want it. How many of us truly believe that the cuban cigar is really that much better than a fine, dominican cigar? But whenever we go to Canada or anywhere else where they are legal, we make a fast bee-line to the nearest cigar store to buy some.

Cunning marketing by Herr BMW.
Same reason that you guys over the water get "wood" interior trim as standard, and crave the "metal" trims, whereas over here, we get the "metal" trims as standard and crave the "wood" ones. Us Brits like a bit of Tree to go with the Cow Skin in our cars!!
