IND's painted reflectors have become a staple addition to any new BMW. We have created a quick and simple solution to eliminate the unsightly factory reflectors.

Our painted reflectors allow your BMW to regain it’s original uninterrupted design aesthetic as shown on European models. The fit is identical to factory because the reflectors are factory-original pieces, built by BMW, and by painting these OEM parts at IND's own in-house paint facility, we've ensured a nearly perfect paint match every time. Every member of our paint staff has at minimum 10 years of experience at our in-house 10,000 square foot facility. We offer almost all factory BMW colors, including BMW Individual.

Sold as a pair
OEM base for flawless factory fit
Paint quality guarantee
Fits M-Sport and Non M-Sport Models

Simple install?

avengerboater · 10-26-2018, 03:58 PM

Not bad. How about a blacked out grill?

We should have a G05 coming in within a couple of weeks for an install and we will document it. Should be similar to the X3 which is fairly simple however would require a plastic rivet gun.

We are still waiting for BMW to release those for us to paint.

Painted trunk emblems will be available next week.

Thank you! Will be shipping out today.

bavaria22 · 10-29-2018, 08:48 AM

Is it "legal" to remove the reflector in the US? Does it depend on the state you live in?

Will IND get a tow hook license plate holder for 2019 X5.

Thanks.

Bavaria22 - To answer you question as to if these are legal, looks like no.

CFR › Title 49 › Subtitle B › Chapter III › Subchapter B › Part 393 › Subpart B › Section 393.26

(c)Substitute material for side reflex reflectors. Reflective material conforming to ASTM D 4956-04, Standard Specification for Retroreflective Sheeting for Traffic Control, may be used in lieu of reflex reflectors if the material as used on the vehicle, meets the performance standards in either Table I of SAE J594 or Table IA of SAE J594 - Reflex Reflectors, December 2003. (See § 393.7(b) for information on the incorporation by reference and availability of these documents.)

Guessing original paint colors don't meet this requirement.

Ok thanks for the info. Not trying to p*ss anyone off, it was just a dumb question why this is required.

Luckily we don't have this on our European models...

TK421BMW · 10-30-2018, 07:45 AM

Sorry didn't see you were in Deutschland. We make a lot of silly laws here.
