Do the facelift headlights and taillights replace easily on first gen 5er's?

not complete plug and play...

for the headlights, you will need a new light module and reprograming from the dealer..

for the tails..you will need to buy error canceling cables (only made by one guy out of europe, bruce miranda). the price for the cables is ~$350-400, depending on the exchange rate. Also, euro LCI tails have an amber flash/blinker, US LCI tails are red flash/blinker...consider the option of buying euro spec tails if u do order cables and if u like the amber flash more....

head over to 5series.net for more info...(see you there)
