2013 LCI 7 Facelift Rear Turn Signal Lamps are Red!
Say it isn't so! BMW cost cutting includes replacement of the safer Amber rear turn signal lamps with Red ones on the LCI 7!

Yes, the law in the US is different (turn signals can be either amber or red) and BMW and other makes take advantage of cheaper red LED's to save money. The strange thing is they didn't do so with the pre-facelift 7, whereas they did so with the rest of their lineup…
