Euro Tail lights on 2012 BMW 535i M power

Balazzo556 · 08-15-2014, 05:57 PM

Members,

I would like to know what do you think about this change from OE tail light to Euro style... there will be other pictures of the LED Fog light soon...

VMRWheels · 08-15-2014, 07:06 PM

I like it, looks good!

P1 · 08-16-2014, 11:42 AM

That M Power sticker though...

Balazzo556 · 08-16-2014, 09:50 PM

P1et,

What do you want to know about the M Power sticker....

noixd · 08-16-2014, 10:09 PM

Balazzo556 · 08-16-2014, 10:16 PM

Not really a fan but thats just me. if you like them keep them

Russkey · 08-17-2014, 10:08 AM

Just curious, why did you place M Power badge there?

shawnsheridan · 08-17-2014, 02:06 PM

Looks great, although I am a bit partial myself...

Well... it's not an "M", so why put an "M Power" sticker there? Ruins your boot lid.

613Bimmer · 08-18-2014, 11:46 AM

Umm, sorry if this sounds dumb, but what's the difference between the regular and the euro taillights? I have LEDs on mine and it's a Canadian car...

shawnsheridan · 08-18-2014, 11:49 AM

North America has Red Turn Signals, and the Rest of the world has Amber Turn Signals.

Need4Speed_Motorsports · 08-18-2014, 07:46 PM

Looking good!

Balazzo556 · 08-18-2014, 09:05 PM

Well, I have the M package and since I did de-badge I want to leave something unique... because it is not a M5 but nor regular 535i. Every car I had owned for the last 20 years, I always made it unique; from my 1971 Chrysler Cordoba to my previous 2007 Infiniti G35. I love cars... and I like to be different.

Balazzo556 · 08-18-2014, 09:08 PM

The difference is safety, the amber LED lights can be recognize at far distance during inclement weather... like rain, and snow.

613Bimmer · 08-20-2014, 07:58 AM

Ok thanks guys, may have to pick some up myself.

remmib · 08-20-2014, 12:57 PM

Any pics of the US tail light indicator, cause I'm uses to that amber stuff.

Balazzo556 · 09-09-2014, 06:43 PM

Remmib,

I am selling my OEM tail lights if you want them... let me know...

ausdude · 09-09-2014, 10:21 PM

I installed them on mine too. I like them a lot

khanyam4 · 09-10-2014, 08:27 PM

Never undestood why bmw did not give the f10 us spec amber rear signal. The F01 got it.

The F01 production began 2008, 2 years before F10, so the decision was likely made after F01 production began.

Does the LCI F01 have Amber too?

yes seem like only the 7 series got the rear amber turn signal. I like the amber better.
