I have an '08 535xi, but I assume the orange reflector behind the front wheel is identical on '08's forward? Is there a white replacement for it? I think it really ruins the look of a dark car.

no replacement AFAIK, most just remove and have them painted to color match their car...there are a few threads on this, the upper right search bar is a useful resource

Ouch, I got a newbie smack down on the first post. I have tried the search bar, and scoured the net for several weeks now. I can't believe noone makes a replacement.

didn't meant to come off harsh, my apologies if so....again, removal and painting by yourself or by a body shop is an inexpensive mod with great results, sourcing out for production and manufacturing doesn't seem cost effective IMO for such a simple mod

take them off and paint them. Thats the easiest and it shouldnt take long. Sometimes its very hard to use the search option because if you dont put in what your looking for in the right way (worded I mean) you wont find it. Its wierd, and ive noticed sometimes you have to choose words carefully. Welcome and I hope you enjoy these forums
