My Ride: 2014 535d M-Sport, sold 2006 530i Olivine Green, Beige Leather, Premium Package, Steptronic, Navigation System
Returned last Tuesday from three weeks driving our new 530i in Germany, Netherlands, and Belgium on US European Delivery Program. Had a great time!
Observed that the European E60s really looked sharp with their Rear Fog Lights. Would like to add to our vehicle when it arrives here in Austin, TX---in approximately five weeks from now.
Anyone have a clue as to where to purchase these gems?
P.S. BTW, US folks have nothing to complain about as far as gas prices. it cost $100.+ to fill up the tank over there.

My Ride: '05 545i, silver gray, black leather with anthracite maple wood, sport package, premium sound, navigation, cold weather package, electric rear sunshade, folding rear seat, satellite radio prep, PIAA 4150K fogs, red rear reflectors, hardwired Valentine One
What do you mean by rear fog lights? Euro cars have rear fog lights in the rear light assemblies, whereas most US spec cars only have one (on the drivers side, as I recall). My US spec 545i doesn't have any rear fog lights--not sure why.
Are you referring to rear fog lights, or the red reflectors on the outer bottom section of the bumper--see pic below:

I guess, I stand corrected, I was referring to the red reflectors!! Where do you get them?

Interesting I was describing them to my salesperson in Austin, and he said they were rear foglights for European market.
They sure do look like refelectors. Do most Dealers carry them? Or do you need to order them from a dealer in Europe?
