Headlight lenses cover replacement

I'm trying to find a replacement lens cover for my M240i with xenon headlights but I just can't find it anywhere and no info about it.

Seems like BMW doesn't offer it, so if you crack your headlight cover you basically have to replace everything which is crazy and incredibly expensive.

So far I've only found this option but it looks a bit sketchy.

Yeah those are definitely not OEM parts, even if they have the BMW stamp on them.

I've bought a number of copycat made in china stuff for things like replacement grilles, and the plastic seems to be more brittle and less dense. And their website does not inspire a lot of confidence if you were to not receive the item. If I was to buy from them, I'd use a credit card in case I didn't get it, and ask to see a picture of the actual part, with a handwritten name of the representative you speak with on a piece of paper, to know it's actually in inventory and for sale.

For sure not OEM. But seems like it is the only option I will definitely follow your tips if I decide to buy from them.

If anyone has another option to get those headlight covers, please let us know!

I'm going to follow, mine could use a refresh.

Any sense of how hard it is to swap out?

I don't know what year your car is, but Bimmer Jake is a reputable vendor:
