Woohoo! Got my Bimmian painted reflectors!

PiperD · 04-11-2007, 09:17 AM

Anybody else receive these elusive things yet?

Figure I'll put them on along with the summer tires in a couple of weeks.

Any pictures? How's the quality?

PiperD · 04-11-2007, 06:39 PM

It's still too cold to put these things on, even in my garage, but just in comparing them to the car's finish I have to say that the reflectors definitely need a few more layers of clear coat.

If you guys want I can take some shots tomorrow in the sunlight, but I think the attached pics show the difference in reflectivity between the car's finish and the Bimmian reflector finish.

Sorry if they don't, I'm not very good with a digicam.

SWEET!!!
I'm going to order mine soon

slickvince · 04-11-2007, 10:11 PM

i noticed that the back of the reflector says bimmian? Does this mean that this is not a painted BMW part?

Is this bimmian part exactly the same as the BMW???

oneshare325 · 04-11-2007, 10:25 PM

WOW!! Those Match great!!

renasis · 04-12-2007, 12:19 AM

easy install? i was thinking to order them, but its kinda pricey

///M3NACE · 04-12-2007, 12:26 AM

ehhhwik · 04-12-2007, 02:18 AM

no, i jsut asked them to give me some touch up paint when they were painting my front aero lip and painted it myself...

... if you've got a Sparkling Graphite e92 and want to see the "after" shot

(as others have said, do NOT use a screwdriver!!! This will cause dimples! Convince your wife/girlfriend/common-law-partner/life-partner/mother to let you use a butter knife!)

ctgazer · 04-21-2007, 10:13 PM

awesome! nice wheels

Snecro · 04-22-2007, 09:55 AM

Minty clean! Looks hawt with the 19"

I'm gonna buy reflectors this week too.

T i h o r · 04-24-2007, 12:47 AM

Looks good! I think the reflectors are by far the worst "part" of the e92's.
