because of our traffic laws. They require orange reflectors in the front of the car. Most car companies including BMW just put orange front blinkers to accomidate the law. You can get around it though, BMW decided to put clears onto the E46 coupes and M3s, and to satiate the US law, they put orange reflectors into the front bumpers. I'm assuming BMW would do something like that again with the E90 coupes, since it will have a more 'stylish' and 'sporty' look to it in the stock form they might want to give it clears standard.
Funny thing is, Ive seen cars in other countries where the sport models come standard with clears, the owners dropped ambers in.. I guess its all about doing something different then stock
For me I think smoked would look the best, clears second best, and orange third
