This pic might give a better look at it.

For some odd reason the pre-LCI do not have the rear reflectors.

So here's also a pic of my car.

Found this LCI M5 for sale. It has the trunk lid, don't know if it's the same part or if it just looks the same. BTW 80% of all 2007 M5 for sale in Germany are Touring models, wonder when we'll see one here...

We just need to find out if the trunklid finisher on the LCI M5 is different from the trunklid finisher on the 2007 M5... For example, are the part numbers different, alternatively... are the trunklid part numbers different? If they are different, LCI owners might be in luck.

Who has access to 2008 parts lists and can check this for us?

How does the finisher attach?

Does it cover the factory model, or is the factory model removed and replaced.

If it is the latter, I'd guess it will bolt up. You may need to to tweak the wiring a bit.

BMW will avoid sheet metal changes wherever possible, as it is an expensive change.

The lid was installed only with 3m double sided tape which goes over the existing trunk lid. Very easy install.
