Epacy is an unknown quantity at this point
Yes, I will post them up. Prolly be tomorrow before I can.
Install would be alot easier to do now with knowing how to get at the reflectors. Don't think anyone had done them yet on a 2011.

Actually I checked today... no radiator in the way on 2011 35i, easy access to the drivers side reflector as well. I have my painted reflectors on the way from IND. I'm on the west coast and they ship ground but I should have them by Friday

Looks real good. Might I suggest painting the mesh under the grilles flat black. When I replaced my grilles I also painted the mesh. The mesh directly under the grilles pulls out, but I couldn't figure how to remove the bottom. Instead of removing the bottom I taped around and taped over the parking sensors. Makes the X5 look a lot better with the black grilles.

Can you just push the reflectors in to pop them loose? You don't need to remove the bumper from the car do you?

It's super sticky tape... you can help it by using a blow dryer from the inside to unstick it a bit... but you have to get inside, can't do it just from the outside.
