Bimmer Plug says they now have GTS OLED taillights for 2 series. I don't believe them. I have an order for other stuff with them that just passed 5 weeks for something in stock. Anyone know how to order directly from manufacture?

They look ok.. Until someone probably crashes into the back of your car because they didn't recognize your insufficient taillights..

When it comes to safety items, I stick with OEM products. Auto manufacturers have a lot more to lose than some warehouse around the globe that probably utilize child labor to make their products.

For real, the M2 LCI Euro lights are excellent, one of BMW favorite BMW taillights of all time and I'm not just being bias because I owned it. Second being the real OLED taillights from the M4 GTS/CS.

It was attractive and extremely visible from afar. It even has the rear fog lights built in.

These "FOLED" (they are not OLED) offering creates a lot of visibility/safety issues on the F82, I can't imagine the quality assurance is any better on the F87.

The OLED look far superior than anyother lights.

Just waiting for the jury to come back though with a verdict on the craftmanship, longterm use

You killed me at FOLED. Well done sir!

[rcouchh]

Just an FYI, please don't order these from Bimmerplug. They are charging $1000 for tails that are $560 on AliExpress.

I have a set on order and am excited to get them. I highly doubt there will be any issues with people 'being able to see your brake lights' lol.

They have a 1-year warranty, for 500 bucks it's worth the gamble for me.

Link for you

[shaneguags]

knowing this isn't a factory option on the M2 would feel weird if I had these installed on my M2. I wouldn't get them unless I had an F80 to be honest

the laser lights of the upcoming CSL are also really really cool.

They do indeed look handsome and I could imagine they cost a fortune and material aside, especially they fact that they a bespoke part for the CSL.

However, I don't know why I can't get it out my head that they remind me of the CFL-style taillights from the "E" generation BMWs.. 😗

the E generation looks more so like the F87 OG M2 pre-LCI taillights. you got me wanting to switch to the LCI ones now I'm definitely going for the Blackline LCI taillight eventually. I can't stand the pre-LCI ones that I have

I like the pre LCI tails

They look wicked at night

And I happen to own an LCI M2

you think ? it's not the worst, I just wish they were LED. the light looks way better and brighter. parts of the pre-LCI taillights inside are lit up separately and not a straight like of light when braking.

You can always upgrade the bulbs to LED and code them in so they are fully functional

I do understand your point about how much brighter the LCI's truly are vs pre LCI

I mean if I were to upgrade why upgrade the bulbs. I rather just fully replace them at that point. see those look so good

[SM2]

I though LCI lights are pretty nice, these OLEDs look cool though.

[GoneIn4Secs]

guys, just use black out wrap to improve the look of your taillights

cheap and effective way

[allinon72]

I have a personal rule, I don't change light housings unless it's an OEM option. I did the LCI conversion on my old F80 and I was hesitant even then because of some of the wiring needed to make them work correctly. In my younger days I would be the first guy to "upgrade" to overseas housings, only to have constant quality issues with most of them.

Plus this GTS phase is getting run into the ground and quick!
