Poll: G80 M3 GTS vs. CSL Tail Lights

SoCalBimmerGuy · 11-17-2023, 03:54 PM

Thinking of changing out the Tail lights for either CSL Laser Lights or GTS Style LED lights. Was curious if anyone had done theses or which one everyone prefers. Thanks!

Plenty of threads on both of these in the cosmetic and lighting mod section.

The CSL lights look great. I didn't think they fit the M3?

Well one of these is a fake of the previous M4 generation style, and one is a fake of the current M4 generation style, so if you're chasing the least questionable fake style, I would go for the newer one.

I was considering the laser ones until I saw how plain and ricey they look when the car is parked. Reminds me of peeps that get smoked film from Walmart and cover their entire lights with it, leaving no contrast, just a big black section that does not blend well with the rest of the vehicle. These pretty much only look cool at night. At the end of the day, I’m happy with the stock lights and would rather spend the $800+ on a more impactful mod.

Just wait to see what the LCI brings. I think there is no change, but you never know.
