i was left speechless when i first saw a preview of these rear lights...

but now i just found more pics!!

spoiler looks great ... but those clears are wayyyy too ... well CLEAR!! looks like a v. cheap Japanese aftermarker product! just the same as the horrid clears on the Z4 they sell.

and these rims look hot!!:

Yip, looks a bit ricy, sorry, that should have read "dicy" to me.
Not impressed, I seriously think I should be the new brand
manager at BMW aftermarket division if this is the best they
can come up with. Clear indicators is all that should be clear
IMO .

I kind of like the clears- no way on the spoiler though..... just goes to show "different strokes for different folks"

why would anyone want to get clear lights at the rear anyways? clear turn signals yeah... but no way the brakes lights should be clear as well!

they remind me of the tails on the RX330....aren't tail lights supposed to be red for a reason?

This reminds me of when BMW actually had the "Black M" package for the E34 5 series in the late 80.s You could have from Hella black front and rear lights

Soooo 80s

Lovely, those lenses will be a hit with the "FAST AND FOOLISH" crowd. How about those wheels?! Wow, looks like Bangle is chasing the Lexus SUV inspired look!

thats exactly it- look at how the front lights of the ES300 and now the RX 330 come up on to the hood when you look at it from the side- the E60 does the same thing. All these car designers come out of California and I think what happens is they all get stuck buying into the same trends. it would be really refreshing to see something that is more unique. btw- I kind of like the RX330- for what it is: good surburban mommy car.
