Hey, I just got my 2004 E60 525i and it has the ugly black colored plastic things on the bottom of the bumper...
From what I understand, I have two options
1. Red reflectors - I understand these are the one's included on Euro models
2. Body colored reflectors - Are these the one's the new E60's have?
First I need to choose one, which would you guys recommend?
Second, where is the cheapest source to buy them?
Thanks!

pro2cer, do you recall what you paid for them?
I'm also in Philly, which dealership do you use? I deal mostly with Thompson BMW in Doylestown...

The reflectors are something like $12 a piece at the dealer, $24 for the pair. Can't recall seeing a price for the colored inserts. Easy do-it-yourself job to switch them out, search the forum. I personally like the red relflectors, particularly on the lighter colors. If you car is dark, the colored inserts are fine.

The E-bay stuff is junk.
Get your chrome grilles and euro reflectors from your dealer!
They do not cost that much more.

Or from Gary at Newport, if you are ordering several items, it might be worth paying for the shipping
