I think those tails are real and will remain that way for the E90 (sedan). The idea with the E92 was to set it apart from the E90 in some small ways. For example, the headlights and kidney grilles are different on the E92 as are the tail lights. I'm not in love with the E92 tail lights but they are rather 7er. I am not fond of the E90 tail lights hence my mod to Blacklines.
