Just thought I'd let people know that various sellers on aliexpress are now selling the cs lights for f32, 33 36 82 and so on. Just ordered mine from here for a touch over £550 after discount

Will be interesting to see what these actually look like rather than M4 GTS stock photos

[WillLowe]

The seller sent me some photos and a video which I can't seem to attach the file type. But they look as,close to oem as I'd expect for a product triple the price.

Edit: screenshotted his images so excuse the quality if its poor

Nice - just emailed a seller on aliexpress on the rear loom/ wiring.

They have been out for the 3-series for a while so the technology is proven. I assume it's just the casing which has been altered for the 4-series. Unlike the originals, these are led not oled - not that you would notice the difference, but really silly to engrave "oled" on the lights. A very China thing to do, lol!
I wonder if these are based on the V1 or V2 tail lights - V2 had quite an extravagant startup sequence which I find over the top.
In any case, I've been waiting for these and eager to get them. Will wait for UK-based ebay seller though. If one of these led lights dies, it renders the entire set useless.

Thread title says headlights - were there CS specific headlights as well?

Also, someone is selling blackline versions:

Yeah I have noticed that mistake, but not sure how to edit the thread title

I think you can do in advanced mode, there's a box at the top for the title.

I did genuinely think that there was a new headlight design though!

The blacklines seem to be for F30 only - have been around for a while.

For £500 notes its worth a punt! I sold some standard facelift rear lights when i bought my blacklines last year and managed to get £550 for them after ebay fees - so these may work out free!!

Another eBay link but for F32: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294172934453

Says plug & play but I guess you would still need the harness for pre-lci - same harness used for the standard lci tail lights?

Looking at install videos for the F30 ones, they are plug and play for pre LCI too, you just have an extra wire each side on Pre LCI.

Amazing, thanks!
Perhaps a silly question, but how to you prevent the boot lid on the gran coupe from swinging all the way up?

Theres an option in the idrive to select how high you want the boot lid to go.

just press the handle or the inside button again while opening / closing and it will stop moving.

Bryan makes things look so simple. Also, while I wasn't convinced by the GTS style lights at first, the black line ones do look pretty good. Shame no F31 version yet.

I'm probably going for the red version as it looks more oem. Blacklines would look subtle on a black car as per video, but on white I think it's too much

Would look great on a MG - I have the blacklines on mine, can't justify the cost to change..........yet! Also are they officially certified for UK/Europe for MOT etc?

I suppose that's the same view I'm coming from, I've yet to fit my blacklines, but think they look really good on MG

I think either will look good on your car, but I fully understand going for the OEM+ look
