Here attached is the DIY for the Front Bumper reflector.
I made it in PDF so it is easy to print and have it around the car during installation. Available color: - Alpine White (Front and Rear) - Mineral White Metallic (Front and Rear) - Carbon Black Metallic (Front and Rear) - Black Sapphire Metallic (Front and Rear) - Space Gray Metallic (Front and Rear) - Glacier Silver Metallic (Front and Rear) - Dark Graphite Metallic (Front Only)

Any advice for installing these on a diesel? The bit that I am worried by:
"If you have the sDrive35i or xDrive35i, you will have no oil cooler inside the front bumper as shown in the pictures." I assume with the 35d there is something (AdBlue tank?) in the way that may complicate things? TIA Later: I found some info in this thread: http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1001636.

But I bought the M50d grill trim from you too, so I do need to worry Am contemplating tackling both the grill trim & reflector install myself. Dealer let me down so need to find a solution on my own |

Just tried to do this and was the biggest pain in the butt. I scratched and nicked the heck out of the bottom flare where the pop rivet is trying to get them off. Any leverage I use and it gouges the paint. Pulling the flare off take nerves and I just gave up and I'm taking it to the body shop tomorrow morning. It will be the best $100 I ever spend.
I've personally done the reflectors on my F80 M3 and the kidneys on both the M3 and F15. This car is such a pain. |

It is a bit hard to take off that rivet. You should just drill it out since it is not reusable.

I did end up drilling out the last one but I didn't go deep enough as I wasn't sure what might be on the other side. Anyway, it's OK. I can do mechanical stuff but I just suck at body/exterior mods

I do have to say after doing this mod on various bmw's in the past the F15 is by far the most pain the ass one to do. I messed up the paint under my fender flare as well from it bending and scraping against the liner before i said screw it and removed the whole liner instead.

Bought these painted reflectors too, but I just realized how much pain it is to install, just removing the wheel is a pain already (a nice 15 min DIY turns into a sweaty 2 hour job on the parking lot) for something as simple as a bumper exterior reflector swap I wish there was just an overlay option
