I was at the dealer today and someone was taking delivery of a 550 sport LCI. I really liked the rear lights, they look like what should have been on this car to begin with. The one thing I didn't like was the 19" rims, reminded me to much of the previous M3..I didn't get a chance to look at the interior because the owner of the car was getting the run down...He looked very happy Here is a quick pic from my cell cam...I felt like I was from Autospies.com I went to the parts department to see if i could order the tailights, and as usual everyone was clueless, they looked at me like I was from outer space..After I explained that the LCI had Led tailights and so-on, they offered me a job...Not the first time...Anyway the parts guy checked the computer, found the tailights, but no price or part no. He took my tel. number and said he would call me when they become available.

Same problem with my dealer yesterday - no info on the led taillights regarding prices, they had to call BMW Holland and found out it would be about $580 for both incl taxes. I guess you guys will have it cheaper than this.

Katheikia, did you notice the new sports exhaust on that sports 550i ?

This is definitely on my mod list. Hope they will fit but I have a feeling that they will need a LCM reflash for them to work properly.

My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.

The rear driving lights are now done with led "pipes".

Even better, the EU models have now the rear side lights that I have always wanted;
4 leds in the "white" area".

Also the Angel Eyes are now legal as daylight running lights in the EU!

I just hope that US E60 driver's would stand up as daylight drivers as well, for safty.
