I can't decide whether I should add rear reflectors. What's your opinion? Are they an improvement over the color coded inserts? Any second thoughts by thoses of you that have added them?

If you have can, add them on. If you have the M bumper than you have no choice. Definitely look better with them.

I think the rear looks incomplete without them. I am particularly curious when I see another E60 with them (rare), and have had both a dealer rep and a complete stranger tell me/ask me ...why arent they on all E60's.

The thing is if the bumper where one solid piece without those insert than it would be ok without the reflector but right now is not so better with reflector.

The car was designed with red reflector. So was front clear lense.

IMO, the reflectors look natural, like they belong, whereas the inserts look like "inserts" that have been placed on the car to cover up the space where reflectors should naturally be put, lol .
