VIDEO: F80 M3 LCI Euro (blackline) taillights installed!

bobloblaw · 06-21-2018, 03:10 PM

Ha I saw these on a black F80 the other day and was wondering if they were OEM or not. It looked really nice! Not altezza Lexus-y at all.

They look straight from eBay, rather than BMW parts department.

Literally my EXACT same thoughts. So weird I was thinking about posting that right before I saw your post.

Same here. I thought there was some strange silver/white strip at the bottom of them. Much butter out of direct sunlight in the still photo

Ya, the reflection is a bit off in the video. I'm going to get some pictures in sunlight with my DSRL asap!

RUDY?

Wonder how these would look on San Marino Blue Metallic....

MrMarioG · 06-21-2018, 04:02 PM

I've made some shots of my car a few weeks ago. Easy install on LCI models. Just plug and play.

cs11787 · 06-21-2018, 04:04 PM

Anyone have a link to these? I can't find them on IND site.

I think they should look great considering blue and red always look well together. The deeper hues of the SMB should really make the red/black/clears of these pop more too. I'm not sure about IND or third party versions of these, but I bought these OEM ones:

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Genuine-BMW-...5/322633502792

I got it when there was a 15% off coupon from eBay and paid $491 USD for them. There are a few different vendors who make non-OEM ones though.

Do not understand why they decided to have all the variations of the LCI lights...

Normal LCI lights
Shadowline LCI lights
Blackline LCI lights

These do look nice in certain colours though. Disagree that these look like alteza lights...

SlickShift · 06-21-2018, 04:40 PM

Sorry, but they look like "Altezza" lights to me.

Siciliano611 · 06-21-2018, 05:17 PM

Terrible

Nope....sorry

raysspl · 06-21-2018, 06:13 PM

To those saying they look like eBay tail-lights -- at least they're high quality eBay tail lights

Looks good to me

Just hardware of lens and coding? No need for additional modifications since I already have LCI?

If you have the LCI then it's an even swap.

Maybe I'm blind (hint: I'm not), but I just don't see the relationship between the first photo below, and mine (sorry still iPhoneX photos). I see much more resemblance between the bmw lights and the two Porsche examples below (red strips or not)

2kaccordocoupe · 06-21-2018, 07:01 PM

I said it before in a previous thread and I'll say it again. Looks very Honda Accord'ish.

No bueno
