Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone knows how to remove the rear reflectors without damaging the rear bumper on a F10 M-Sport model. Thanks in advance...

Shaving them is definitely the way to go, but to me it only makes sense if you have to get the bumper painted anyway, as it requires repainting the entire bumper.

Because of this you might want to get painted reflectors. I think there is a post about removing them in the DIY forum. If I remember correctly Lui said something about using dual sided tape to pull them out.

I used double sided tape and yanked them out then had them painted at the body shop of my choice. If your in SD, we can meet up and I can help you remove them if you like.

I shaved the front reflectors too! Like IE92 said it's only makes sense if you're going to paint the whole bumper is the mod really beneficial. I upgraded to M sport bumpers and had LTBMW do them when he painted it.
