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

Hi

There are rumours of a BMW retrofit Kit in Europe for £700 apparently released in August

+1, nope not for $1,800 or really for any amount. Your car is what is it, pre-LCI, save the money for an LCI it matters to you so much.

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.

The only thing pleasing about the LCI are the tail lights

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.

I3Lazen or others, was any coding necessary with the LCI Taillight retrofit?

Yea, this is it. It's literally packaged with all 4 pieces as well as the drip rails for both sides. It came directly from BMW.

Yes, it requires the inner wiring to be repinned (I got this done by someone) as well as coding for them to work.

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.
