Yea, I just noticed this on mine also. Hard to believe this happens to a car w/ less than 7k miles. My benz had 55k miles and not a single speck on the headlights. What gives?

Ruf,
I think you probably notice the damage more on the E60 because the covers are clear and the black plastic housing underneath really makes blemishes stand out. I had a lot of marks on my E60 headlight covers. I also had a load on an X5 but I had the whole front end resprayed on that car to get get rid of stone chips and the shop I took it to polished out the headlight covers for me as well. They looked as good as new afterwards. It might be worth taking it to a local bodywork repair shop and ask them for their advice.
