I have some doubts if this is correct. Thanks to this site, I know the dome light issue relates back to a July 05 TSB and I wouldn't think that BMW is still shipping cars with the incorrect light. Additionally it sounds like a lot of other owners are handling 2006 installations without mentioning the light replacement. I'm also getting a conflicting conclusion from another dealer who ran my VIN and said that I don't need the replacement.

I'm somewhat confused now and I'm not sure which dealer to trust. Can someone on the forum please describe or post a photo of the proper rear dome light so that I can identify whether I have the right light?

Thanks for any help that you can provide.
Here is a pic of the rear dome light.
Older models did not have those grills for the motion sensor.
