I cant work out how thing thing is supposed to look/work
Im guessing it replaces your boot lights..
Is this an aftermarket thing, or just a big mistake by bmw..

anyone good at photoshop? :P

That looks hell ugly.

I prefer my "boot garnish" better: http://acherion.com/blog/wp-content/bmw/IMG_0762.jpg

Also that is impossible to be for an E34, must be for some other model. There is no hole for the boot keyhole to poke through, and it looks like it would overlap the reverse and rear fog lights if it were ever to be mounted on an E34's backside.

Had a look at realoem.com and it looks suspisciously like one suitable for an E36, rather than an E34

Reminds me of a Ford Telstar (don't think the Telstar was sold in the states, if I find a pic I'll post)

Do it twice, but the second one for me, spares are always useful.. Honest!

www.abrahamsmotorsport.com carries the M5 black units to go between the taillights...I think it's around $50-$60 or so.
