Thumbs up F82 OLED tail lights from M Power Motorsports

I recently purchased the OLED tail lights for my 2017 F82 M4. I want to say, the experience with M Power Motorsports has been nothing but outstanding. I have to be honest, I was a little skeptical on reading the previous reviews but let me just say, I reached out to Abdul (the owner, he personally responded to my questions) on the chat window on their website right away. The main reason why I bought from a local vendor and not China, is "Customer Service". Abdul has been great on that. Definitely would buy again (any other parts) from M power. The customer services is great.

Apologies for the dirty car in the pictures .

They're not OLED.

Thanks for the great review. I'm glad you are enjoying the lights.

Yes, these lights are LEDs and not OLED technology like 9k lights on the M4. So you either get the OEM OLED lights for 9k or get these for $600.00.

Actually, if they were purchased from one of the original manufactures in China (VLAND is one of them), they do have OLED technology in them - specifically the led "scales" on the lights. That is, according to VLAND (I specifically asked them), the China based company that I originally purchased my GTS style tail lights from.

That said, I did not "fact check" this company either and I am not losing any sleep over it. But based on what I know about OLED technology in these applications, it is not really that new or expensive. So for the most part, I am inclined to believe them. But at the end of the day, all that really matters is if you like the look on your car….

I highly doubt these products include any OLED at all. If you have a look inside the lenses, the replicas look very different from the genuine GTS lights. The OLED panels in the genuine lights are incredibly thin fins, where the replicas look to be a continuous stepped piece of of plastic.

The lights look good in person.

I've parked next to a friends m4cs and it's ridiculous how similar they look. I'd say from the side is where the difference is most noticeable; from the back though especially more than 5-10 feet it's extremely difficult to discern the two.

People hating for no reason, you gotta really be financially stupid to drop $10k on tail lights for a car that's essentially a supe'd up Bmw 4 series, this isn't a lambo where spending 5fig on cosmetics can be justified.

The f30/f80 sedan gts lights shaped weird though. Suits the coupe much better.

i agree 100%, who in their right mind would spend almost 5 digits for lights on a car worth 40k used by now. I wanted a CS spoiler but that was almost $900, so I found a very similar one in look for $150- will anyone who doesn't know everything about it notice- nope! As long as nothing is wrong with it, it'll be fine. I dont go cheap for the car by any means but for some items its just crazy to spend so much- I think these fake oled lights are perfect and I almost want a set

I couldn't be happier with the knock off OLED tails I bought for my F80 (VLAND). They fit absolutely perfectly and look great.
