For those NA E90 owners who are disappointed in the fact that their rear tail lamps flash red instead of the proper yellow, there is a solution at hand.
I have just installed Euro tail lamps which can be ordered from any Canadian BMW dealer through BMW Canada. Hopefully, American dealers should also be able to supply. As far as appearance is concerned, look at the many photos on this site of E90s in Europe, SA, Australia, etc. The yellow interior lens of the turn signal is barely noticeable within the red exterior.
The Euro lamps are interchangeable with the existing tail lamps; they use the same bulbs and bulb holder. The price installed is approx. $400 (US $300) less any trade-in allowance that you might be able to negotiate for the NA tail lamps. Installation time is approx. 10 minutes.
Part #s 63-21-6-937-457 L rear light

In my view, it's money well spent for the upgrade in visibility/safety.
