I was looking at pictures and postings, and I want the smoked, european light-bar for my '97 840Ci...does anyone know where I can find it?

Dealer part only and most can't find it in the catalog because it is a non US part.

They have ordered several sets from Germany already and discount the heck out of prices for 8 owners.

Tell them you saw them on the Forums
