Just got back from BMW Kohl in Aachen Germany where I ordered an LCI idrive controller...I enquired about the rear LCI led taillights, (read: buy and install them ! ) > the service manager gave BMW Munich a call and eventually found out that there will be a retrofit package available from JULY/AUGUST 2007 !!

The guy could only speculate on the price...quote "should be under 500 euros"...


who's getting them ?

I'm in !

I want to swap mine too!

Do you think the Euro replacement LED rear light kit will fit a US model?

If all one gets for $650 for the LCI taillights retrofit is LED turn signals I'm out!

I want the snap of LED brake lights to warn the too-close SOB behind me - that would be worth the price.
