Quality-wise I'm sure they are fine, the F30/F80 V1s and probably V2s were the guinea pigs already.
Price-wise, you can ask for a discount. Won't be the same price as F30/F80 ones but I'd say it's a reasonable discount.

To maximize savings, don't forget to stack new discounted price with existing coupon, plus Rakuten cashback, plus your credit card's foreign currency bonus (for US, just change currency to CAD or w.e on the top right of aliexpress. I did the opposite).

If you scroll down the page it says the manufacturer is VLAND which is the same as the F30/F80 ones. And zooming in while they do the animation, you can see that they are using the same LEDs as the F30s behind each "leaf" as they illuminate nearby leaves the same way. The sequential LED turn signals seems to be smoother on these F32/F82 ones though.

If another manufacturer were to exist, I'd expect them to completely copy the OEM GTS leaves where the line has a curve to it instead of all being straight.

Not sure if it's possible but I will probably try to open it up and try to reprogram the animation sequence to either completely remove the second wave or speed up the last few leaves lumination on the second wave.

They said they will ship within 9 days from now, I'll def post a video and some pics when I install them.

The animations are being modified by some sellers, not all though. The one you linked informed me that they are delaying shipping so that they can modify the second pass of the animation. As for reprogramming ourselves it's also something I considered, you could be super creative with turn on and turn off animations.. I achieved it easily with headlight DRL's so I can't imagine taillights being too hard

Would you mind sharing how you programmed the DRL’s? Some real examples please.
Many thanks.

The headlight drls?

If so I cracked a pair of adaptive icons open, took out the trim housing that the DRL acrylics seat into, then I dremelled a slot in the back so that I could lay some addressable RGBW led chips behind the acrylic rings.

The addressable leds are then hooked up to a blueghozt controller where I used the pin out to make custom light patterns via my laptop.

Received another video of the "improved" version from the seller.

They were supposed to ship last week but they said they had to delay to improve and said that they are ready to ship. But who knows when they will actually be shipped.

Those look pretty damn good! Finally for the f82'ers. Haha. These damn lights are worth every penny! They look amazing in person!

Well, that's the last piece of improvement I wanted to see. Will drop some change on these for sure.

Maybe I'm missing the answer here, but are these NOT plug and play for LCI cars please?

They will be plug and play for preLCI and LCI, just like the GTS v1/v2 lights for the F80. There are marked plugs for both preLCI and LCI on the taillights .

Nice, I've seen $650-$750 on average. I've seen some only able to get it to $800.

Sahbatage · 06-17-2021, 11:05 PM

I'm seeing these for $650 on alibaba and $799 on Amazon. Anyone pulling the trigger on these yet or still waiting?

f82_spooly · 06-19-2021, 08:34 AM

I'm still waiting for people to review/price to come down to $500's

Same…

fidozoom · 06-21-2021, 04:42 PM

Do any of these work for the F83/Convertible?

In general, do the tail lights differ for F83 and F82?

It seems like the OEM part numbers (63217296100 for rear right assembly) are the same for the M4 Coupe and Convertible.

Can we assume the same for these replica OLED taillights that are specified for the M4?

Mine finally say they have been posted I got mine from here
