In closing:

The car is perfect as it is. Leave it alone.
Your point on the reflectors is assinine.

The car as made in Germany has no orange reflectors, so the painted reflectors bring the car closer to the way its designers envisioned it. The orange reflectors are an abomination mandated by the DOT which bastardize a perfect design.

This is the M5 I drove in October 2011. No ugly orange reflectors.
