Looks great. Did you do it yourself? If so, what's the installation time?

I wonder if anyone will go the route of buying a LCI and changing the front bumper and lights back to pre LCI?

I don't recall anyone on this forum doing this sort of before. just a thought!

probably not cheap though.

Why would you buy a new car and go about making it look older rather than just buying the older car?

Pretty sure no one has ever done that thats why you don't recall it

On the England 2021 configurator there is an option for shadow line lights:

BMW Individual Lights Shadow Line

The BMW Individual Lights Shadow Line exterior trim includes a Shadow Line brow of the headlight for a sportier front profile appearance. Only available as part of the Visibility pack on SE and M Sport models.

The above is ordered seperately from but requires the BMW Individual High-gloss Shadow Line exterior trim with extended contents includes High-gloss Black kidney frame/struts and exhaust tailpipes in Black Chrome.

I think this option makes the LCI lights look waaaay more cool during the day at least. And the price of looking cool in England is Ł350 = $460

Screen shots rom the configurator:

Thanks for the info,

Are those numbers with amber turn signal or North America ??

Other than the taillights, do I need to buy any other parts??

Does it required coding ?

Thanks

Those are PN with Amber Turn Signal (EU Spec).
I will try to find US Spec PN.

As far as i know, it wont need any major part to do this retrofit.

For more details, i need to wait until it arrived to me.

Not much luck searching for a place that ships the EU/non-US models to the states. Might have to find and intermediary in the UK or Germany to turn around and ship them here.

Question look up

There's a picture and a part number up there.
More than that, I'm pretty sure you've given me a vo-coding helc, but on the outside, you're turning warm-checking off, and I can't figure out why the error is coming up.

I'm pretty sure you could get the EU version working on US spec pre-LCI models since there is no harness difference.

The million dollar question is if you want NA red turn signals, did they make those parts with a new harness, or is it just coding. I haven't seen the NA versions yet, but I am sure the turning signal strip is too thin for the surface area requirement so I bet they flash the brake lights as well like the rest of the BMW model line up.

Here you are.

I was told that the tail lights were not available from Germany until 09/20/20 due to production delays.
