HI i am new to this forum and cant help but not get what LCI is? are you saying the 2003-2008 e60 has one type of light and after 2008 it has this new set up?
the LCI cars do indeed have a different tail light setup (same shape) than the pre-LCI cars

I don?t think this has been done on this forum so here goes: -
To start off this is one of the easiest DIY?s I?ve done and thanks to Bruce Miranda for the cables.
Parts required:-
LCI taillights
Attachment 45263
Bruce Miranda?s Adapter cables
Attachment 45264
and double sided tape or tie straps
Tools used, mini ratchet with 8mm socket with extension, flat head screwdriver and a brick (For the Brake pedal, I was on my own).

Not yet. But I'm working on producing an E61 version of the cable at the moment.
