Yeh, ... I agree with Stuttgarter on this one, .. especially when it comes to BMW's.

I feel sorry for you guys in the States who don't like the orange bits added to BMW's, ..because it does somewhat ruin the look of the car. The clear look for me is easily the better look.

For MB and Audi, they put those orange reflectors or lights, or whatever they are in their front bumpers, so it's not so obvious...but the poor BMW's have them in their lights, and that really sucks with some cars.
I saw an american version X5 4.8iS picture, and it looked alright, but when you see the 3er with those orange eyebrows, it doesn't look anywhere near as good as the non-American version.

I agree. It was the case with all BMWs in Croatia as well, we had to pay for clear reflectors here. Luckily that's not the case anymore 'cause clear blinkers are standard now.

I think that orange turn signals sometimes makes the car looks better. Especially black or white cars.

They look gaudy, hopefully goverment regulation will change sometime soon.
