It's had a crack down the middle for some time, but apparently the zed is using the hot weather as an excuse to want yet another new thing...(as if new wheels, tyres, and cruise control aren't enough treats for it!)
Also - any thoughts on the best place to get one from? BMW on eBay want £82 delivered, somewhere in Lithuania will sell me one for £65 delivered, I've not asked at the stealers yet...
So...the car is stratus grey (and needs a wash). Do I go white or red for the new light? My preference is red, but I don't think I've seen a white rear brake light on stratus grey before...Not joined yet?

White is cheaper than red, and even UK dealers don't charge £82 for them.
Get from main dealer and it's easier to get replaced if it breaks again (2 year warranty)

My red one's been cracked for a while and fell apart once so I glued it all back together. I have received a new clear one as a Father's Day present - result!

I have a crack in my 2nd hand one that I got from a member on here, it had a crack when I got it, so glued it and it's still fine. I do have a brand new red one for when it does go completely.

Clear looks much better on the grey and silver colours, red on the darker colours

Always go clear, it's cheaper and looks better (unless the car is red or black) then its debatable which looks best
