And thanks for the tip, I just took your advice and ordered the reflectors. I thought those back slots looked kind of odd, I couldn't figure out what they were supposed to be

[/quote]I'm not a big 'modder' but now that it has been pointed out to me, the red reflectors look 'right'.
The only mod I did on my previous car (2003 325i) was remove the front plate mount and replace with the euro bumper insert, and the ipod adapter.

I just picked up new ride 2 days ago!
E60 2005 Titanium Silver/black/anthracite 545i
steptronic
sport pkg
navigation
premium sound
cold weather pkg
I love it! It replaces my 2003 325i, wow what a power difference.
A couple things that annoy me-- the seatbelt warning chime won't shut up if I am making a short trip without my seatbelt on?
(any suggestions?). Also I'm surprised how stiff the ride is-- I guess that's the good and bad of the sport package.
The stereo is AWESOME.
