Thanks for all the responses. I am sure I did not order the amber blinkers. I spoke mit dem Verkäufer at the BMW dealership in Germany, and he also sent me 2 pictures showing I ordered the Blackline Heckleuchten. Why the part # is different, is still a mystery...as is why the Blacklines are on National hold.

Fingers crossed that in 2 weeks, I will be blacklining it, and signaling orange...as my BMW was designed to do. Damn....I found out that it was BMWNA that made the switch to red blinkers. They thought it looked better. All BMWs in Europe blink orange. Funny, our Z8 Alpina has Neon brake lights and turn signals...and they are red, where as Z8s in Europe have the orange rear neon tubing. BMWNA has to fricking get over their imposing ideas of red blinkers looking better. It just looks like some grandma's Buick Park Avenue
