Most German car manufacturers dedicated amber for turn signals until recently. Up until this model year, I think the 7-series still had amber turn signals. I believe AUDI was responsible for bringing all-red taillight treatments to the U.S.
I am actually looking for a set of Euro/Canadian-spec taillights that use amber turn signals. Does anyone know if such things even exist anymore?

I think expect for F15/16, you can still get plug and play euro tail lights. Just find the part number at any parts catalog site (I use etk.cc because it has a simple graphic search), Google the part number and order. For example, for your e60:

The red turn signal is so US 60s primitive that I have even toyed with getting an amber LED strip and attaching it to the rear somewhere.
