At $1800 no way... I'd rather keep that money in the piggy bank to be used towards my next BMW.

The other thing is, how long do you keep your cars? I speak from experience, I have tempered my obsessives compulsions of pouring zero-value add money into my new cars, just to swap it out two years later and have the money I put into it mean zero in terms of increased value. Sure you could put these on and sell your old ones to make the hit less painful. The LCI tails aren't that dramatic of a change, the sleek headlights are, but I still would not bite.

Subjective, as were my comments about the headlights.

If you plan on keeping your car for a while, it would be better to just wait for the lights to drop in price. There are quite a few OEM parts that you can get on eBay to upgrade the car, but at this time, it's just not worth it. You would almost be better off trading in your current car for the LCI, but that doesn't make economic sense.
In a couple years you'll be able to find those same lights for half the price you can get them now. |

I noticed a set of aftermarket LCI style tail lights on AliExpress.
LCI Style Tail Lights Euro amber turn signals, plug and play, and no need for the rain gutter replacements. I imagine this will also solve the issue with the Welcome Lights on the factory OE LCI replacements. I do wonder about the quality of these tail lights as I've found that aftermarket are never as good as OE.

Hey Sorry, never saw your tag.

The only thing that does not work is the Welcome lights (When you unlock your car, the headlights and tails dont light up) I had to turn this feature off in the iDrive. Hopefully a fix is found for that in the future. |
