Pre-LCI Head&Tail Light to LCI
Hi guys, I have a 2007 E60 and I wanted to upgrade the headlight and tail light to LCI, I read that I need an LM2? I have no clue what that is...
Anyone can chime in and tell me what parts do I need including part number to complete this project?

Hey,
I don't have all the info on this but I figured I'd pass on what I do know.
pre LCI have the LM1 which is very basic and controls the light functions in the car but minimal options.
LM2 is basically the newer improved version that allows you to setup your Angel Eyes as Daytime Running lights it gives you additional options for pathway lighting and BFD (Brake
Force Display) and you can setup your Welcome Lights to come on Softly along with selecting exactly which lights you want to come on (I have mine to Angel Eyes, puddle lights and Fog lights. I have an 05 with the LM2 and it's a great retrofit, I also have LCI tails but I used the Bruce Miranda's for the Rickey Brake Effect.
To my knowledge you will also need a cable harness to run from the front to the back for the LCI lights retrofit
hope this helps a bit.

I'm also interested in updating to LCI tail and headlights on my 2005 520I sport currently fitted with standard halogen. I want to upgrade LCM, OEM tail lights and Projector 60 V3 for headlights but not sure which LCM and wiring harness to get.
