My '05 came with paint matched inserts, but for $25 it's very tempting to at least try out the reflectors. Especially on my white e60......

What are the part numbers for the two red reflectors?
BMW Part # : 63 14 6 915039K
Bavarian Auto Parts sells 'em for $23.95/pair. Very easy to change, and the 2008 LCIs have them as standard.

Just to answer the other question, I'm 99% sure the reflectors are different on the new 2008 (LCI) models.

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!

Take a look at them when they arrive. You should see that they're held in place by two small detents/latches/whatever and are marked L and R. The outboard one on each side is fixed, and the inboard catch is the one which is held in place by a small piece of spring steel. Some have used fishing line or dental floss to pull out the inboard side. Others (including me) have used a small screwdriver cushioned with a piece of cloth to protect the surrounding plastic from damage. With a little urging, they pop right out, and the red ones pop right in. FWIW, you can access the LH side piece from inside the bumper, but you can't do that on the right side.

Once done...very classy and Euro looking (at least until the 2008s become common)..but still classy .
