There is yet no official retrofit.

One member on here has had some success in building electronics to interface to pre-LCI.

LOL..I know there is no official retrofit - since I'm the one that initially posted that info I got from BMW Munich earlier in May. But I think he is just refering to the tailight, as he is not providing much empathetic info.
This IS available at any BMW dealer as I have one in sitting my garage and anyone is free to purchase a pair. The part no. is no secret either.
Now, maybe the guy likes to fit it with the link you posted above.

Just order them from your dealer as normal spare parts.

Besides the group buy on this site a month or so back, the only other places I have seen that sell the new LCI lights would be Ebay or Umnitza. They are a little pricey though. And of course you can get them at your BMW dealer parts department.

the first link is where the Group buy got them from - I see now he has included a retrofit cable (albeit with a mod necessary)
- we never got this
