My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!
Yes it on regular E60's as well, may depend on what options you have though.
My car came with blue LED's under the mirror as standard.
They are for pathway lighting. They turn on automatically when you lock/unlock the car so you know your way around in a dark area.
Looks really cool at night!

My issue with this is that at the same time the mirror lights turn on so do my interior lights. How can I make it so the mirrors go on but the interior stays off?

I would have been nice if they had it on all four door handles, like they do on the new 3.
