I would like to swap some parts on an 08 onto my 06. Specifically, the LED headlights and tailights, as well as the rear bumper. I think the rear bumper should be a simple swap (please correct me if I'm wrong). But the LED headlights/tailights look problematic. What adapters do I need, and will the LEDs be fully functional (with adaptive headlights, compatible w/ iDrive, etc.)

I'm searching both here and on m5forum, but I have to make a decision in the next few hours, so I'm hoping for a quick answer. My 06 has every available option, and production date was 05/06.

Thanks in advance!

Supac,

I am not sure about the fronts as I havent seen anything on here about that yet, but the tail lights are all the rage and it is a direct swap, however you will need to buy and adaptor wire. I think Bruce Miranda sells the wire, try searching for LCI tail lights and see what comes up.

Good luck.
