I just replaced the black inserts with reflectors on Thursday when I picked up my new 530i.
I can confirm that for the 530i's in the US for MY 2005, the bumper inserts are BLACK. They are not black covered reflectors. I have them right in front of my right now.

The cheap black plastic pieces on the 530 look terrible. I think that on certain colors, the reflectors look awesome, whereas on other colors, the painted look better.
On my titanium silver met. the reflectors look awesome!!!
