GTS Taillights Out. G30 Style In.

TakeOne · 12-24-2023, 09:58 AM

After going back and forth, back and forth, I kept coming back to these but didn't see much discussion on them. Decided to pull the trigger and couldn't be happier. Besides the newer, more modern style of taillight, the best surprising side effect of these is the illusion/appearance of an even wider rear end on the F80!!

I didn't see much/any videos of these on the F80, so I made one and go through all the Pro's and Con's of them. Enjoy!

Those are… I’m not saying it. OEM LCI are way better.

X2. Shadowline LCI are underrated too.

Agreed. LCI are far better looking and fit the design properly.

Aftermarket lights have come a long way... But naw, I wouldn't rock those. it just doesn't fit the design of the rear deck but then again OEM M3 ones don't really either.

I dropped the GTS style when multiple people told me they couldn't see the turn signal at all (not that I use it

)...but was concerned if they can't see the turn signal - can they really see the brake lights? Just have a feeling these are similar. Don't think I'm a fan of how they stick out either. Would need to see in person though...

Went back to LCI - won't look back.

I hear ya, and have heard the same from other owners. That’s why I turned my car around and shot them in direct sunlight. Time stamp 17:25

Genuine OLED is stunning but so is the price else Genuine LCI shadow line these replicas just don’t suit the car in my view.
