Small update to the build, since installed the replica M Performance Door Sills, I was not happy with them. The LED element was very cheaply made and showed sharp jagged edges. I went on a wide search of genuine BMW ones, but since so many of them were water damaged and BMW discontinued them long ago, this was not easy to find. I eventually was able to find a new set, but it was an open box item with all accessories missing. Due to me already having all other parts, such as the door magnets that enable the illumination to work, I didn't mind. Once again, genuine BMW is so much better quality wise, they look way better than the replicas. I had a few small issues with the magnetic trigger, but was able to tinker with them and fix it. I also made sure to add some rubber tape around the battery cover to try to defer any water. Hopefully they'll last, I don't know how many more new sets are out there in the world at this point.
