Timing is off on the inside versus outside. Need to adjust the programming.

Perfect. I watched it embedded in the forum, and there was no links.

It's similar to the look my 2018 Audi came with OEM (they have more LED's in the sequence, so more of a strobe). For them, it's a safety feature so that you can see which direction the signal is going from a distance. Otherwise it's just a flashing light.

Did the same mod on the 340i as well. Since mine is a US car it has red turn signals so it looks a bit different. I like the way it looks.

New BMW 340i Sequential Turn Signals!

All right... finally got this sorted out. Apparently I cannot read and the OP's 4-series link doesn't work on a 3-series. Plug is the same, wiring is slightly different, so you end up with no change from OEM.

Got the right unit for the 3-series:

And it looks great!

I did the same on my F36 but installed the dynamic ones for the mirrors as well. Now it is back and front and is quite nice except that the mirror ones are true dynamic and the back ones are semi

You can get those GTS taillights for true dynamic, but they are a bit expensive.

One of the vendors on here has them listed on his site for $625! I just tried his link, but it's not loading for me anymore. Not sure if they're still available at that price.

I really want them, but I'm in the middle of moving and really don't need to be spending money on mods right now

Oh man, these are really amazing but I can't possibly justify that amount on taillights, especially when there is nothing wrong with mine.

My biggest issue is I never see them. At least with a grill, lip, etc, you see that walking up to the car. But unless I'm spinning out into the ditch, I never see the taillights.

But I love the look....
