LCI tailight retrofit
anyone ever seen, used, or heard of this option?
I know bruce makes some nice cables but the price is expensive. This may be an alternate route......

The question is: What about other issues? Let's say you get them installed don't the headlights need programming (dealer performed - of course) and any error codes in the iDrive? If they can get those answered then yes, it's a greadt deal!

Bwahahahah 
for that much ... Yeah! That cable not only has retrofit kit for the front but also for the rear!!!
The OEM p/n for that cable is 61-12-0-432-110 the same found https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=46834 (when in doubt compare their pics) just go to the dealer and ask for that ... after that be prepare to do the retrofit for $1K+++ w/ the dealer... 'cuz you may need new LCM then labor etc ...
Can't believe that ebay seller asking for $120 ... I paid $38.64 for the same exact cable at my dealer when I did my own LCI front headlight retrofit.
Ask Garry Romani for such cable ...
