    Were blacked out tail lights available from factory?

    Im looking to buy a 435i and found a 2016 that has blacked out tails. The original owner says he bought it that way from the dealer. I haven't seen that before. Is it factory? Can they be reversed to the regular red lights? Thx

    I don't think that would be an option from BMW because it is not legal in many (most?) locations.

    Not a chance it came that way from the factory.

    Ask to see the original invoice. If he is lying about it (which it surely looks like he is) how can you trust him on anything? Walk away.

    "Bought that way from the dealer" and "factory original" are 2 different things. Seller could be telling the truth that the dealer did it; but it's not from the factory.
