E70 LCI Clear side markers for car w/side view?

Hi,

I have a new-to-me 2013 X35d. I'd like to replace the yellow reflectors in the front bumpers with the clear "euro" versions. My car has the Technology package with side view cameras, which require a different style reflector.

Search has failed me. Anybody know where to get these? I believe the OEM orange reflector part number is 63147274434.

Thanks,

Maybe I'm not understanding, but what does the side view cameras have to do with reflectors? I don't know about the 35d, but on the 2013 X5M, the cameras are on the side of the front bumper.

On the non M, they're right at the top of the reflector, so cars with the cameras have shorter reflectors. Totally different front reflectors/ on the non M versus the M.

OK, I'm not sure, check realOEM and maybe select a Euro vehicle versus a U.S. Vehicle?

Interesting. Don't think I've ever seen the side cameras on a non-M. Learn something new every day.

That's correct. Here's a photo.

The part number in my original post was from RealOEM. Good idea to pull up the parts diagram for a Euro car. When I look for the 2013 X40d (only sold in Europe) the part number is 63147274432. The description doesn't say the color, but this must be it.

Thanks for the help.

Your other option would be going with the painted versions from IND.

^agree with Socal, if you don't find the version you're looking for, IND has them painted (standard or side-view camera). Quality and fitment are perfect (they use OEM reflectors).

I just went ahead and tinted mine black, I think if I apply enough layers, it'll be slate black but just personal preference.

Try 3M DiNOC (or equivalent) adhesive carbon vinyl film. It's available in many colors and completely reversible once applied - 3M DI-NOC Single Color
