Absolutely hideous in my opinion, but hey, it's your car......

BTW, BMW offers the all-whites as original accessories.

Re: M5 headlight and tail covers
No,no,,no,no,,no....I agree....those look terrible! I was intersted in just a smoked covered plate or a piece of tint as my car is ordered black. the rear of the m5 with the black paint, blue and white emblem, red tails, chrome/white reverse lights just need to be calmed down. Let alone some color in the L. Plate, in witch i have a tinted cover for. The front was due to Laser, tinted are better. These were not bad.. for the rear that Stevie had....

Re: M5 headlight and tail covers
Or you can just get them tinted yourself. Alot cheaper than buying a new light unless Hella does a swap for the stocks. I know alot of people who get them done on their Red Rears. My SL55 has them done stock which looks alot better than the standard SL500. I'm definitley going to get them done on mine also. The guy up the block on me just got his G35 lights done and it looks great on a black car.

There are definitely darker ones out there. I've seen a couple Jet Black 545s out here with black taillights. It looks great with the Jet Black.
