Hello, I am new here and I was looking into buying an e60 M5 after Christmas but I do not like the old style tail lights. So Ive been reading up a lot on the LCI retrofit kits and I havent come up with much in terms of packages. Now I will look into this with my dealer but I was curious if there were any online packages I could do myself before. I found this website with so called OEM euro spec which are the ones I want as the N american ones have red turn signals which I do not like. I would much prefer legit BMW OEM lci tail lights.

Here is the website.

Those are aftermarket LED tail lights I believe, I'm looking for factory OEM LCI tail lighs euro spec that come on the 08 and up models of the 5 series. Also im looking for a reasonably cheap upgrade for the Angle Eye's in the headlights that do not give error messages or cause the radio to become fuzzy.

For Euro LCI LED taillights, check out Roveractive on eBay. They did a group buy for us a while back. If you want the US spec version, check with Garry Romani of Newport BMW as he gives members here 25% off. There's a sticky thread about him at the top of this Parts forum.

For the retrofit cable, go here: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...t=0&start=0

And for angel eyes, I think the best one out there is the AngeliBrights from CustomAngeleyes.com but they're also the most expensive.

Merry Christmas!

+1 to all that....for euro spec tails, aside from roveractive (a bit pricey)...when you contact bruce miranda for the cables...ask him for a contact for euro tails...I beleive alex is still selling euro spec tails at a better price and bruce should be able to give you his contact info

Thank you for the reply. Do you know any other angel eye upgrades that are close to as bright for a more reasonable price? The AngeliBrights are nice but I'm not sure I'm looking to spend that much for the Angle eye upgrade. Also where did you get your LCI tail lights? I'm assuming the smoking was done after you got them aswell.

Umnitza Predator Ice is pretty close to the AiBs and cheaper.

Thank you I will check into those. If I may ask, where did you get your LCI tail lights?

I got it from the group buy I mentioned earlier. It was organized by member Alex.br (he's also on M5board) but the seller was Roveractive.
