Looks Great!

The front turn signal lenses look like they don't have amber colored corners...is this true?? If so, how can I order new lens assemblies for my US version 545i?

I've always been a fan of no amber lights!

Hi Wedgehead,
His location indicate he's in England. Most of other country has clear corner except US, may be Canada, too.
So far there is no cheap way to get clear corner for E60 in US unless ones need to by a new set of head lights which is too expensive. $2000 at least.

I am having no luck at all with uploading some more pics of my cars (I keep getting messages suggesting that the image is to large) is there anyone that could explain what I need to do (idiot fashion as I am no computer expert)...Cheers

They have size limitations to the jpg attachments , I don't know what that number is. I tried uploading some pics of my car when I signed up for this forum, but had no luck as well. I use a 8.0 megapixel digital camera, but I guess I have to tone down the resolution so the jpg file will be a lot smaller. Nice ride!!
