Tried to get one last night but lighting was still bad, sorry I should try and get one during the day.

The ones I ordered are carbon fiber ones that I plastidipped black because I didn't want any carbon fiber.

This is so awesome - never would have thought to do this. I'm getting this wrapped on Friday, will post a pic when it is done. I have a 3 series not a 4 but I think it will still look good.

MS Paint mock up of what mine will be:

If anyone has a good link for the red start stop button, please post up. I'm seeing a couple different designs and don't want to reference the wrong one.

Thanks. I know most common aftermarket companies on here sell them now at a slight upcharge. I'm looking for the original Amazon link that had it <$20.

Just search Amazon for "bmw start button" and you'll find it.

What I'm saying is I found a couple different styles.


This one has a plug like thing on the end with cutouts around the perimeter
https://www.amazon.com/beler-Engine-.../dp/B078XTJGKD

This one is just flat and round
https://www.amazon.com/Jaronx-Sports.../dp/B0762RBTS1

Not sure if there will be interference with either one, or if the plug is needed for it to clip in, so just wanted to make sure i link one that others have used. i haven't done the mod and don't plan on it so nothing for me to reference personally.

If they both fit then forgive my ignorance. I just wanted to make sure before I end up sending people to the wrong product.

Because they like how it looks, it's cheap, and it's easy to install. Pretty simple really.

At least you can compare the style to one you're looking for on amazon

I got the second one (Jaronx) a few months back, perfect fit. But don't follow their instructions to pull it out using some sort of sticky putty. Do it properly by pulling out the entire assembly, taking it apart, and releasing the clips. If you know what to anticipate, it's literally a 5 minute project.

New here, loved some suggestions in this thread.

Not sure if this has been mention before but the cheapest mod i’ve done was pulling the two 5amp fuses in the trunk to leave the exhaust valve permanently open.

My wife saw the pink ones on a X5 over the weekend... I hope she doesn't actually want it still when she get's her new X5 2020 model... I'm considering the black/ white ones for mine...

Just ordered a set of black kidney grills for $30.

That is a vivid logo for the puddle light. I have the factory BMW ones and they are not near as bright and colorful. Plus the factory lights do not have that outer blue and white ring.

I think I might spring for the cheap ones on amazon, and move the expensive factory ones to the back doors.

Do you have a link to which ones those are?
