Steve_Jr · 02-06-2017, 01:47 AM

When is LCI stuff available ?

Robby29 · 02-06-2017, 10:32 AM

I can't wait to retrofit LED rear tail lights =)

kern417 · 02-06-2017, 08:29 PM

that rear bumper looks crazy. i didn't think the LCI had vents like that.

Avante Sport emblem? Can I ask why?

That's not new, it's an M Sport bumper with an M Performance diffuser painted a certain way. Most people leave the entire diffuser black so you rarely see the vents due to the lack of contrast.

dagnabbit. now that's another item to put on the wanted list.

Insane435 · 02-08-2017, 10:48 PM

I actually like those tail lights.

kern417 · 02-09-2017, 07:03 AM

i like everything about it except the LED headlights. I just prefer the look of xenons. But the tails and Digital Cluster make up for it.

Wonder if coding will be needed or direct swap...

I just saw yesterday at my dealer one of the techs had replaced the preLCI instrument cluster with the new one one his BMW. I said to him, YES! I WANT THAT TOO. We'll see. Probably costs an arm n a leg. I didn't pry into how much out the door.

Steve where did you get this pics? Didn't know that LCIs are already on the street. I though they start with March production

I would love to see few photos with the new cluster as i'm still not sure if i want it or not. I'm afraid it will have too much LED backlight. All the adverts are shot in a way to hide this

I'm still on the fence on the LCI headlights. I had them on my 340i and I liked them, but after looking at the traditional Xenons on my other car, I like the old one better. I like the rears though.

Completely agree

I was quite happy to get a car with xenons but now you don't have this option anymore. They come with base LEDs, which are shit and you need to pay extra to get the adaptive (EUR 1.680). Only this way you get the cool hexagons and normal beam, base one has a really REALLY ugly low beam that i can't stand

call me old fashion but i liked the dual corona rings as well instead of the half circle hexagonal crap that makes it look like every other car on the road coming towards you. the 4 rings were separated enough that you can easily go "oh, thats a bmw".

PBGF32 · 03-09-2017, 04:55 AM

Anyone have a lead on the tail light part #'s and availability?? Thanks!
