The only thing that worries me is it doesn't mention if there's error codes or not. That could be a problem.
Besides that, get some shadow trim buddy!
I'd rather spend money on that rather than some ebay taillights

But I want gloss black, shadowline is too common now. Better to get the little M5 touches (no I won't get the badge), like mirrors, and gloss black trim - and maybe those stick on fake fender gills

You're going to spend $800 on some M5 gloss trim? Just paint them gloss black. That's what I plan on doing.

Me too, $800 for the gloss trim kit is robbery - you can't tell me it costs BMW $600 more to paint the trim gloss black instead of flat black. I'm going to paint my trim gloss instead and be much happier.

My advice ... the seller has very limited feedback ... The LED tails are not LCI but if they are well made w/proper resisters built in they don't look half bad. Last year I put a set on my car ... check my album.
