LCI LED tail light retrofit OEM BMW, including coding
BMW has officially released a LED tail light retrofit for the E92/E93 3 series (including M3) and E70 X5 (including X5M). All parts are OEM including the adapter harness (E92/E93 only). Coding is required, but any BMW dealership can do the coding. I had the LCI retrofit installed and coded on both my M3 and X5 this week. I love the look of the LCI tail lights!

BMW's Aftersales Business Development & Marketing Department released a bulletin to all dealers regarding this retrofit. I don't know if it is part of their parts catalog, but the Parts Departments at all BMW dealerships should be aware of this retrofit.

getBMWparts is a BMW dealership (BMW of Silver Spring) and they are selling the kit at a great price. You will still need to get your X5 coded by a BMW dealership.

Would be great if they retrofitted the camera and idrive. Good to know they even do this sort of stuff.
