Why they so expensive

Anyone have a good place to buy reps or alternatives?

I've been looking for a donor car from copart for so long but I don't have 15 grand when they go super high

Let's hope so, I'm so excited.

Although I do remember seeing some weird leaking issues with the f30's so I'm wondering if they've addressed that with these, as well as made them much more affordable than the 1g price tag of oem's and the like

You have a link to the depo part?

Forgive me if this is a dumb question but if I already retrofitted the LCI LED tail lights onto my f32 wouldn't I already have the brake lights? or is that a separate unit/part?

If I understand your question, you're asking if you have the specific lci brake lights? The full led's?

If so, then yes, if it looks like

Oh ok I am indeed an idiot lol, you were just referring to them as brake light versus tail lights. I dont actually own the LCI LED brake/tail lights yet but that was the next thing I was going to buy but I dont know how to code or anything.

A cheaper yet good quality alternative would be nice so I to would love to get my hands on DEPO's for the f32 in the near future.

Yes that's what both BimmerRimmer and I are waiting for

They're so beautiful but so expensive

Indeed they are. I feel like DEPO lights are a good compromise. When I had my first BMW, it didn't have the xenons, so I ended up buying a used OEM set from a forum member and did the retrofit myself. It was definitely challenging for me and I made a lot of rookie mistakes and jacked a lot of things up

Then on my second BMW, which also didn't have xenons, I got the DEPO headlights and they were literally plug and play. No rewiring or coding necessary! Of course they weren't adaptive or auto-leveling, but the installation was a breeze the second time around after I learned how to remove the bumper and the headlight housings the first time.

Have been looking at the LCI tails for some time for my F36, but damn they are expensive. This could be interesting - especially Black Line look

Looks like the lights are finally on the site, but not quite available yet. Very interested to see how much they'll be priced. I'm on the notification list

What did they use to be priced as? Wondering if it might even be worth shipping them here to Sweden. They are really expensive here aswell.

This would be the first company to make an aftermarket LCI style tail light for the 4 series (that I know of). Right now, users typically get them second-hand from other users or buy them new, which is very expensive.

USR has the 3 Series LCI style tail lights for around $335. We can hope the 4 Series will be around the same price, but I'm thinking they will be a little more since they are new and in demand.

Ah, I must have thought of the 3-Series because I remember seeing theese aftermarket before.

But still, if they would retail for around 300$ that would be only a fraction of the OEM price!

Would defenetly be worth shipping them here!
