Altered rear end.

I have altered the rear end of the new F10 5-series to make the tail lights a bit more L-Shaped IMO. What do you guys think. Sorry about the poor quality but it gives you an Idea.

Not feelin it...I like the chunkier look of the original...as the O.G ones make the car look a bit more compact.

Great job on the PS but I prefer the original. Styling is very subjective however so to each their own. Good thread.

I think the two parts of each tail light need a certain balance and I find that in your (OP) modification, the trunk lid mounted portion is too small.
I think that BMW did a decent job with the new tail lights on the F10 series cars. I quite like the smoke/dark effect...

I love how it looks much more aggressive, however, not as quality as the original.
