AW is simply a biotch to match...

BMW has three different alpine whites. The latest and what's used on the E9x's is 'Alpinweiss III' (color code 300).

+1 AW is very difficult to match given that BMW does about 3-4 different shades of the color. In any case, the E92 has a specific shade so we do our reflectors with that paint.

persian54 · 08-02-2009, 08:14 PM

well I have a set of AW reflectors but been too lazy to install them....

once I do, I'll post pics...

I335 · 08-02-2009, 08:26 PM

Get the clear reflectors instead. I think they look much better than the painted ones as they still provide a function instead of looking like a fake cover. The clears match side markers and front and rear lights as well. I have them on my Barbera Red coupe and I think they look great. Of course this is just my personal opinion... Take a look at mine in this thread... http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=287182

Clear ones are ok cause they match the sides but I could go either way I suppose...better than mis match colors.

Craig@SupremePower · 08-03-2009, 12:37 AM

ehhhh clear ones look assy imo...

better clear ones than ones where the paint don't match =x

Besides I think AW can pass with the clear ones as it doesn't provide that much of a contrast.
