I don't want to provide any negative feedback about that seller or RoverActive's 'so called retrofit' cables.
However both of them provide you with a solution that was written up and freely available on this forum itself, except that the German sellers do it for you. Basically its just a resistor attached to the Turn. Not only do you not get the LCI effect but you will also get the Strobing at start-up but more dangerously you get the Strobing of the Turn light once every 5 mins even as you drive.
The pictures on the first German guy's listing are of an LCI car, I think, instead of a car with the lights and his cable. On an LCI car if you have DRL you have only the fan lights on. The second German listing is more like a pre-LCI car with the wiring they supply - Note the Brake/Tail light on all the time behind the LED rods.
I'm happy to be proven wrong.

If I am going to get them I 100% don't what the lights to be flashing or doing something wired

Okay, well I just ordered them.
I emailed with the guy today to agree on price since I want UN-modded, original versions, (no resistors), and I don't need the cables.
They are on their way, and I'll be anxious to see how they are.
According to the dude, they are OE from the BMW dealer in Germany.
Can't wait!! I hate those red flashers.
Next question...
Anybody want to buy some OE LCI US Spec Taillights? No cables though
Let me know.
