Thanks!

Those are actually mirror projectors. They are located on both the driver and passenger side mirrors and project when you open the door. The puddle light projectors are separate and are part #63-31-2-463-924. I just installed them on our X1 MSport that we took delivery today and they came with projector slides with the 50th Jahre BMW Symbol and MSport logos.

I actually hope we can turn off the mirror projectors since they both come on at the same time... Something to explore.

what about this one? some X1s have arrived with this kind of puddle light in the US. is this something that can be ordered? or does it have to be added on by the dealer or at the port?

thanks!

this part number is $129 MSRP on BMWPartsDirect though it looks to be something different as the picture there has it projecting from the door, not the mirror.

My Countryman has these so was a feature I didn't want to lose.

Wasn't aware of this "port installed feature" thing.

Junkiehobo · 12-08-2022, 12:41 PM

Mine came with it. No added part or anything. It is projected from the mirror

Junkiehobo · 12-08-2022, 01:01 PM

Us spec. And mine did not go to a port. Straight from factory, short train ride, then dealer.

Speedbird71 · 12-08-2022, 02:27 PM

Driver & passenger or just driver side?

I believe the original thread answered this question as the pics in there showed the passenger side. Cool!

SeekTheFinest · 12-08-2022, 03:56 PM

Driver and passenger side mirror lights. These are separate from the puddle lights.

If you order this from getBMWParts, which is BMW Silver Spring MD, you get the projectors with the 50 Jahre Symbol and an MSport symbol. The possible issue I have is that when you open the doors you get both the puddle light hologram and the mirror BMW projection on at the same time. I might cover up the mirror hologram for now. They were easy to install, just pop out the light and replace.

Same here. I could live without them; standard puddle lights would have been fine with me.

FlashMonkey929 · 12-14-2022, 02:08 AM

I'm hoping there's a way to either code them out and use the door puddle lights, or change them out for a different design. I'm not sure how I feel about the current style.

Yeah I don't love that kind of thing.

I feel like BMW needs to pay me $14.99 per month in subscription fee for doing advertising for them.(with the BMW projected on the ground for others to see)

It's too generic. Now if they displayed the actual BMW roundel that would be cool. My Dad's Lincoln displays only the Lincoln logo on the ground as you approach the car. Very subtle and very classy.

A friend has a 2019 X1 and hers has the blue and white rounded puddle lights.

You can install the puddle lights that have the actual BMW roundel, which will show up when you open the door. These are actually projected from the mirrors when the car unlocks.

Is this something you can get from your dealer, or is this after market, go find it on your own kind of thing?

You can get them port installed, from the dealer, or from any of the online retailers.

The ones I purchased were from BMW Silver Spring (getBMWParts.com)

https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-part...mm-63312463924

They are easy to install. Pop off the puddle light cover with a flat-blade screwdriver, pull out the existing light, and reconnect the new one. These use slides that can be changed with different graphics. The ones I received in my order have 50 Jahre BMW logos and MSport logos.

instead of paying over $100 for those lights, shouldn't BMW be paying YOU every month for doing free advertising for them? or at least send you a big pack of German licorice?(the one that Larry likes to much at his BMW dealer)

Besides the dealer offering them, I've seen aftermarket ones for sale on various online outlets with different designs as well. On my e90, I had a set from Japanese BMW tuner Studie (www.studie.jp). I'm waiting for someone to offer a custom logo service for the slides so I can design my own lol.
