Rear Bumper reflector not Flush? - here is why
I always had an issue with the rear reflector not sitting flush with the body line at the top of the reflector.
While doing some work on the bumper I discovered why. Blue arrows are heat welds... BMW assembly missed a heat weld spot where the RED arrow is near my finger (ignore the other red arrow bottom left)

Nice find. I had this issue on the IB M and it drove me nuts.

Yes definitely fixable with some bumper fill epoxy

Yeah... Me too. I look at this many times & only found it when I was filling in the opening.

Cool. Thanks! I probably never would have noticed that weld missing on my own. Don't have any plans to have my bumper off but if I do I'll certainly be looking for it.
