Merv, does UK law require some kind of reflectors at the level shown on your car? I guess I am wondering whether BMW had to design some sort of reflectors for that level in the UK and other EU countries or did the Company put them there as an on-purpose design "feature."
UK law doesnt require the reflectors - most cars dont have them and the sport model of the e60 certainly doesnt.

Must have red reflectors they look much better, just like the non-sport E46 2 door coupes.
Only wish is that BMW should have given the E60 the LED rear lights.

As a Jet Black 2006 530I owner I truely feel no red reflectors. Gives the car a all black smooth sexy look.

definitely rear red reflectors on a stadart bumber, the plastic inserts insstead the lights are soooo bad.
Since the place is there already, that should be there, otherwise it looks like blindfolded without them.

Unless of course the M-tech bumber, that is a different story.

I like rear red reflectors and in Italy it is a standard feature, I think you cannot avoid to have them.
