Judging by a few of the comments so far yes. I am stock for the most part kind of guy on the exterior myself. I put money into performance. But remember you paid for the car do with it what you want.

You guys either didn't pay attention or wasn't around, but BMW actually came out with this as a retrofit accessory for E60s this past December. There has been a few threads about it, but no one has tried it. It's not a cheap part either if I remember correctly, somewhere around $300-$500. (So 545IbupasdU, it indeed is an OE option)
In any case, it seems like BMW is going towards that direction regarding DRL as well. Prelim. report is indicating that the facelifted 7 series is going to sport some kind of strip LED DRL on the headlights.

But to many people are doing it....If its built into the car then ok, but its an add-on and its done way late so it looks like BMW copying Audi. I wouldnt be able to put that on my car without being embarrassed everytime I saw an audi.

If you are one of these drivers who always drives with their fog lights on, (even when it is not foggy), then yes this would be the next logical step of "evolution" for you and perhaps you fit the end-user profile for this product.
However...
You would not take your BMW badges off and replace them with Audi badges would you?
Unfortunately, I am starting to see more E60's with these stupid 'Audiesque' DRL's; or as Clarkson refers to them "council-estate Christmas lights".
Almost as bad as an A3 driver I saw with angel-eyes and a shark-fin! Even Miss Percy was amused at this!
But if it floats your boat and you can justify chaving-up your E60, all the best. Maybe a Quattro badge on the boot lid next ey Skipper?

Not sure what that's suppose to be said Mr. High and mighty, but it looks like EU's regulation probably does have something to do with it. This is a pic of the new 6 coming out with what appears to be TWO strips of LEDs...

It's kind of wtf to me, and those can't be fog lights...

Secondly, everyone has their own taste, what may seem "chavy" to you may look absolutely amazing to the next person.

Some very unconstructive posts in this thread. It's not a thread to bash Audi style DRL, I just wanted to know if anyone had implemented this 'mod'
Anyway for all your people that don't like the Audi style DRL, it looks like thats the way BMW will be going in the future
Personally, I like the DRLs on Audis, especially on the A5, as well as loving my BMW angel eyes. It will be a sad day when BMW put this LED strip across the range.
