F80 GTS look LED, is there the “best” one?

[bcmark26]

I just took delivery of f80 M3, and have been flirting with the idea of the GTS style taillight. I would mostly prefer to just get used OEM OLED but seems like it’s only available for f82 and will not fit f80.

I’ve done some research and found out many members do VLAND or some aliexpress lights, and got to see VLAND in person too. But it is a bit too dim and not as reflective as oem. Is there any “best” option out there for f80? Flexible on budget, and as long as quality is the best compared to the others, willing to spend more than other brands.

Thank you for the help!

The OEM OLEDS were only available for the M4CS and M4 GTS. Why cheapen the look of a top trim M3 with some bullshit Chinese lights?

Totally agree - Keep OEM as the cheap reps are not great and state oled in the casing when they are not oled at all!

A week since last post in this thread, but I wanted to share another opinion.
The pre-LCI taillights look really dated so I changed mine the first thing I did on my 2015.
Bought the VLAND version and they have worked great for almost three years with daily driving through sun, rain and snow.
The LCI lights look a lot better

VLAND f80 LCI replica taillights look nothing like OEM f80 LCI taillights. I’d rather keep OEM non-LCI taillights than install VLAND LCI or GTS taillights. I understand why people don’t but OEM GTS taillights (made only for f82 but f82 owners don’t buy OEM GTS for the same reason) but why didn’t you buy OEM f80 LCI taillights?

I considered the LCI lights but I had a little light show envy from watching Audis and there ones cured that.
They're nowhere near the OEM GTS lights in look and feel but they've outlived my quality concerns already.
Also, the LCI lights are on so many cars already.
I was closer to buying the M Performance version than the LCI:s.

i am changing back to my LCIs this summer. Shit looks ghetto AF for some reason. They really aren't that bad, but they just dont fit, and really stand out on lighter colors

Your car, your choice.
I'll stick with mine.
To get back to the original question, there's a brand called MHC that is a little more expensive than VLAND and Bayoptiks but I haven't seen them in person.
