Bought a 2010 e60 Msport CPO. Quick question for this thread.... The lights located under exterior mirrors appear white/blue LED like, while all other lights (excluding xenon head lights) are yellow tented. Have these been replaced or is this standard for e60s of my model. thanks as always guys!

It's normal.

Many of BMW's decisions simply does not make sense, lol.

hahaha.. Thanks everyone for the response. And yes these lights look great at night.. Definitely hitting up the interior lights, plate lights and AE's first....(I see the Motorcepts, Trinity and others around here offer these packages..suggestions are welcome)

Then maybe air scoop and filter..RPI or aFe I suppose. Maybe followed by painting calipers. I love the look of this car with the 135 wheels. Ive read a bunch about dropping the suspension but to be honest I think it looks great with the M Sport suspension that it came with. Appreciate the replies.

I looked at adding this to my car but the lights are £60 each, the replacement mirror rings to hold them are £65 each!
I'm looking for other options and will probably cut my existing mirror rings to fit whatever I find.
