Outside of US, BMW has all-red (hold reverse) lenses that produce amber colored turn-signal light. Look is simple, function more robust.
For me, it is purely a safety matter that has been substantiated by DOT studies, not wanting something that is different. With the BMW X5 it is especially bad because the red turn signal is the same bulb as the brake light -doing double duty). If at minimum, a different (corner) would blink red while you had a separate red brake light, it would somewhat better. Mercedes GL is all red, but with separate bulbs for each function, for instance.
