Reflector Question

Mbdurham17 · 04-17-2014, 02:21 PM

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the reflectors for M5?

I found these on JLevi and the description says for both but when you add to cart it says non M5. I called to confirm and the guy I spoke with wasn't sure if they would fit or not. These look better than the ones I found on eBay. I thought the reflectors were the same and they certainly look the same but wanted to see if anyone could verify.

The pictures of the painted reflectors on IND website are the same pictures whether you choose M5 as vehicle choice or just F10 5 series.

Thanks in advance.

Yes but no sense in wasting $30 for shipping and return shipping if I can find out beforehand. I will probably just order painted from ind or may go with the clear ones on eBay. Coincidentally the eBay reflectors which I've posted the link to previously will fit all F10 including M5 for same part number which now I am skeptical of as well.

They may be different. The M5 has different wider fenders and bumpers. So it is possible the curvature is slightly different. Best to look up part numbers on realoem.

Thanks stealth good idea

Thanks again stealth according to real OEM the part numbers are indeed different. I have seen clear reflectors on an M5 on this board but still no luck finding them.

I give up on the clear I guess just gonna order painted from IND

Mbdurham17 · 04-23-2014, 08:33 PM

If anyone is interested I ordered both clear reflectors. The ones from Jlevi and ebay ($100 for both shipped) According to another member he ordered his from the same seller on eBay (thank you!) and they fit perfectly so must be the same fitment. The Jlevi reflectors looked more OEM than the ebay reflectors so I am going to install whichever looks best when I receive all.

Mbdurham17 · 04-29-2014, 06:24 PM

I just finished installing the clear reflectors (Jlevi ones) fit perfectly apparently they are the same for all F10s. The "dots" on the reflectors themselves look OEM. I am very happy with the look. I will let you know if I have any problems with yellowing etc.

They look good!

they look very nice
good looking vehicle!

Mbdurham17 · 04-29-2014, 09:41 PM

Thank you! I believe it would depend on car color whether these or painted. They actually show up a little darker in pics but blend in nicely in person.

The clear looks great on AW.
