I still believe BMW should have given the E60 LEDs like the E46 3 series Coupe and 6 series.?
Even the new VW Passat will have LEDs.?

[/quote]From the new E90 pictures, I think it only has Celis (E39's LED) for the tail lights, but not brake lights. Just take a look at BMW USA E90's sites, and you can see they use traditional bulbs for brake lights and indicator lights. That's a step backward compare to the latest E46 coupes.

[/quote]Very true but a step forward compared to the E46 saloon.
Still I think the E60 should have had at least those Celis (E39's LED) in a different design of course.

My dads car is from september 2003. Can you upgrade the BFD for stop with abs. So when abs is active you get stronger light?

I've had it done on my November 2003 built E60. All it needs is a software upgrade and updating the lights section of the software. See link which I raised last year about it. Here it is again. BFD
