I think the reflector is ugly and I've not seen it in Europe. The turn signal is still in the main headlamp assembly.
edit: xBMXx beat me to the post, but I can add for those that don't know the acronym "DOT" it's our US Dept of Transportation.

...no more SMG, and 2 new automatics - the sport auto is the faster shifting option with paddle shifters)...

Great to read that you are enjoying your 550i sport. Welcome aboard. 
As far as minor mods ... yes, change the air filter and while you are at it, make sure the charcoal filter has been removed too. Otherwise, the popular mods are not minor: wheels, exhaust, springs, high-flow throttle body, software tuning).

Welcome,
Where are you and your baby beast located?
I just put a K&N in yesterday seems to have a slight change in sound and response.
So far with my different items the Dinan software provided the best gains. Increased redline, MUCH better throttle response, a few hp/tq and now have the ability to travel over 155mph.

IMHO ECU remaps give the biggest gains to cars with turbos.

I am in Iowa. I have been considering a Dinan software change, but I was wondering if it is very noticable even without the throttle body upgrade? Also, is there a place I can get this software installed near CedarRapids, Iowa?
