I have a few days to add to my new ride that was ordered yesterday -
530xi 6 speed loaded (nav/premiumsound/comfort seats/sport/18inchwheels/HUD/shades) - was interested in getting the M-aero kit installed at the docks (2500.00) - can you use those red reflectors with this mod?
also, does anyone out there have a e60 with the camera option? is this only in Europe or Canada?

Welcome to the forum. Please update your profile and signature with your location and information about your vehicle.
You can't use the red reflectors with the M Aero Kit because there are no reflectors on the rear bumper.
Sounds like your 530xi will be a lot like mine...

I've seen some modifications where they don't modify the rear bumper but change the front spoiler and rocker panels - i think the M-aero rear mod is too bulky and the stock look is much better-
can you choose which components you want changed out?
