If the front repeaters are visible from the side it's legal to have no side repeaters iirc

On them cars, generally speaking, the side repeaters were in the bump strips. Still can't seem to see them. Weird.

I wouldn't have thought BMW made completely different panel parts just because it wasn't regulation in 1 country, but regulation in all others?!

He has had the car a while, he bought it while he was over here IIRC, so would have had a mot by now.

Edit: He is from Canada
