Yes they are available. The M version comes with the clear one. I am pretty sure the M light will fit the 3.0 as well.

If not I know people have been getting clear parts form Europe, like the side reflectors.

I think your thinking of the roadsters,

Ive never seen a coupe from any country with a clear 3rd brake light,

I remember a promo photo that showed one but I believe it was photo shopped

2nd Starscream comments.
I did an extensive search and spent a fair amount of time on the phone about 4 months ago with no luck. Roadster only item, no coupes as of now.

Thanks for the replies... anyone know which aftermarket manufacturer makes these clear 3rd brake lights for BMWs?

Maybe if we create some demand they will consider making the part?

I think the Interlagos Blue M Coupe with clear 3rd brake light was not photoshopped, it appeared in several pictures.
And why make a 3rd brake light look white on a blue car?
If the car was silver or white I can understand.

Tonight I saw an M Roadster at BMW dealer in Imola red with clear 3rd brake light.
That car NEEDS a red one!

I have to replace the 3rd brake light on my 2003 Z4, the edges are cracking off... found this thread, then googled some more and found the clear lens here - http://eagleday.stores.yahoo.net/bmwz4liandle.html

Has anyone had experience with this store?

Thanks

I havent been able to find this part anywhere else. If you go by the part number on their site, its the same part number for the red lamp at tischer bmw and realoem.com.

Gonna say this one more time,

There is NO clear 3rd brake light for the Z4 Coupe,

Actually I'm going to say it twice,

There is NO clear 3rd brake light for the Z4 Coupe

Only for the roadster, and it doesn't matter if you buy a coupe in Europe, Africa or even the middle east,
Your getting red and liking it

That part number corresponds with the standard red lens replacement

Go to realoem.com and look at a replacement lens, same part number,
Try Ticher and it will tell you the same thing,

Yes the part number corresponds with the stock red part number but it does for the convertible aswell, at least on that website.
