Chrome Finisher Rods to Black Finisher Rods - Pre LCI

Hello everyone!

For a while of owning my 335i sedan I noticed the stupid chrome colored fins that are located in the middle of the fog lights.. I couldn't easily find some on Ebay, and I did find some "oem" ones on US websites that did not ship to Canada. So I called up my old work (the local BMW in my area) and asked if they had blackout ones, and to my surprise my parts guy told me that indeed they do exist! I ordered them up. They cost $9.13 each for the left and right, and for the bigger middle one cost was $12.68. They took about 3 days to come in.

I'd imagine these are the stock fins for the people who are lucky and get the shadow-line trim instead of chrome trim around their door sills.

For those of you looking for these I have part numbers...

For PRE-LCI sedans only:
Left rod black: 51-11-7-134-091
Right rod black: 51-11-7-134-092
Center rod black: 51-11-7-134-095

Install is very easy although you have a pretty high chance of breaking the clips of the ones currently on your car depending how careful you are. I only broke a couple, but I wasn't really careful. Another option for those who are handy with paint, you can paint over them and it will look just as good. I first painted mine and I screwed up by not waiting long enough for them to dry hence why I bought these!


Attached is a before/after photo (first post here not sure if they attached properly)


Thanks for reading!

Black finishing rods came on 328's and the silver ones came on 335's, both pre LCI and LCI.
