I was listening to bimmerfile podcast #10 and there was some brief mention of plastic lenses being removed for cost savings but no details of exactly what they were referring to. I always thought the lack of lenses on my 2010 E70 was odd but confirmed the E71 is exactly the same. Does anyone with an older E70 have any kind of plastic lens over the map/reading lights?

Here's a picture of the rear lights, front upper center console are the same.

Thx

Tim
