I have seen the red Euro reflectors on a few cars. I like the look.
Is this something that I can do myself or should get the dealer to do?

Go to http://www.bavauto.com/ They have reflectors and other parts for E60. The reflectors cost about $23.00 for a set.

My Ride: 2007 550i, Mystic Blue over Auburn, 6-Manual, Sports, Premium, Cold Weather, Logic 7, Nav, Sirius, MTec Front & Sides with M5 rear apron, VIS Penta carbon fiber vented hood, OEM M166s, (or Style 101M with winter 19 Blizzaks), BMW Blue Calipers, Custom Quad Exhaust and M5 side grills, trunk finisher and spoiler. Rogue Octane SSK/WSR and Zeckhausen CDV, BMW illuminated shift knob, Delivered 4/26/06 - Ordered 3/18/06 from Otto's (the Best) BMW Dealership.
I did mine myself because my salesman was concerned we might scratch the paint- I simply worked a screwdriver edge carefully into the outside edge and pulled the color match inserts away from the body (don't use the screwdriver to pry against the body!). It didn't take much to get them out the the new ones popped right in... Best part was the salesman donated them! (I know- $23 but it's teh thought that counts but my dealer is the best!)
Looks awesome against the Mystic Blue and to me the car looks incomplete without them, and I can't believe that BMW-NA would use the body color matched inserts which MUST cost more...

In my opinion, the red Euro Reflectors are the best value-mod you can make!! They really set the car apart from the E60s, and shows that you know something that most other E60 owners don't!! Besides that, I honestly think they make the car look better from the rear

I'm sure there are plenty of forum members here who would be willing to send you a pair of black ones...
