as the tittle says ,, I've managed to retrofit the LCI taillights on my pre-LCI M5 ( LM2 ) , I'm completing the same project on LM1 and hopefully soon I'll finish it and share the information with you ..

check post # 475 , offcourse welcome light is not available in LM1 ..

LM1 LCI taillights project is completed as well as another small project which exactly the affects of V6.1 cable but without the V6.1 cable .. V6.1 affects is the easiest and the simplest coding process I've ever seen in my life ..

but since no one showed up any interest ,, I will stay quiet and call it a happy day

and this thread is going to heaven because it's a money saver , that's why no one liked it
