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.

Once again I loaned a pic from TC.

As I understand this pic is taken from a UK LCI 535d Msport.

Could this mean that EU E60 will also get a rear side led light.

I was on Saturday looking at LCI E60's but didn't notice this feature

I think all EU versions will get 4 sideLEDs for the rear lights. This picture is from the E60LCI intro in the Netherlands.

Been wondering a while why the E60 didn't have them in EU.

The LEDs are actually red but sometimes they look yellow on pics.

Red/Yellow on rear is often a territorial consideration.

EG US red indicators at rear, most of EU amber.
