Not strictly so Carlos.

I specced them from our dealer when we ordered our 335. They're on the original invoice and the BMW specification database along with the rear spoiler.

Just a dealer fitted option instead of factory fitted.

Mine was the same, specced on the original order with the dealer fitting them during the PDI.

The originals are gathering dust in the loft.

I bet not many people know they can do that and most dealers (shit ones) will say they cant do it.

Yeah but the main problem is that you are still charged the full price for them instead of the difference in price. (realistically about 10p for some smoke)

By the time you pay retail and then a grease monkey £60 for half an hours work you are probably looking at over £200

Instead you can buy them on German Ebay for about £110 delivered and fit them yourself.
