Thanks alohalc,

I did not know that! What else did Chris Bangle and BMW change in 05 on the 5 series?

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,

you are welcome, presley348

. but sorry to tell you, i'm not an expert and didn't really follow what are all the changes. if you do a search, there are numerous posts regarding this. all i know is if i got my car a few months later, it could've been a 545 instead because the price different is not as big as my04

MHO, the red or black reflectors look better than painting them.

================================================== =

Hi forum FYI:

A well trusted party BMW company named: BAVARIAN Autosport in their Spring & Summer 2005 Catalog are adverstising on pg 76: "Uprgrade the rear bumper uinserts on your 5 series on."

They have the Euro Red reflectors for: $23.95 pr

and pre Painted ones for: $69,95 pr :

But I have never seen any "clear ones". but who knows who carries them, but they might look good? For me I will stick with the Red Euro's, now for: 23.95 + S&H

(I pd $31.00 for mine from another vendor!)

Hope this helps members here at e60 forum looking for Red Reflectors for their new Bimmer's!

Sincerely,

Presley348

This is an old thread. I think the '04s had the black inserts. Apparently people complained enough that the '05s had body color inserts.

Bingo! And believe me, the cheap black plastic inserts looked AWFUL on my silver grey car. Or any light colored car. A very poor choice on BMW's part that they did resolve the following year. Combine that with the fact that the Euro spec cars came with reflectors, and folks were quickly replacing the black inserts...
