They told me that they can do that but next year when I come in for the inspection, the car may fail as it will not have the U.S. mandated yellow/orange reflectors. Has anybody gotten into this situation or no one has yet encountered this situation as their M5's have already been inspected prior to reflector replacement?
It depends on how picky your dealer/inspection station is.
In theory they could fail your car for no reflectors, front license plate etc
Most shops will still pass you under the assumption that everything was in
order when you dropped off the car (ie plate mounted, reflectors installed etc)
Never had a problem myself either.
