E70 LCI Tail Light Group Buy!
Hey Everyone,
I've been part of the bimmerpost community since 2012 when I got my first 335i. I lived in Hong Kong at the time, and made a few contacts in the world of car parts. Anyway, I moved to Colorado last year and and finally have the opportunity to put one of those contacts to good use! I've been super envious of newer E70's - specifically their backsides; and was looking through some threads on here and saw one of my old friends from HK's review on the Depo LCI tail lights (RyanM) http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1209867 I remembered I knew someone from Depo, and decided to contact them about setting up a group buy. He responded today and said he can do US$300 a set if we order 10!! They will ship to my address in Denver, so I think $20-30 extra for shipping anywhere in the United States is about what it will cost, right? I enquired about the clear/red variant, (just like stock) because that's what I want, but I know they also make a smoked type. If anyone wants those, we might need to order at least 5 extra. I'll check if there's enough interest. Anyway, if you're interested, please respond in this thread and let me know if you want clear or smoked. Once we have 10 people who have committed to buying, I will place the order. I will not accept money from anyone until I have installed a set on my car to confirm quality and fitment. My contact assured me I can return them all for a full refund if they don't look and fit just like OEM. I did a little shopping around, and the best price I could find on these was $400 shipped for the smoked variety and close to $550 for the clear ones, so $320ish shipped seems to be an awesome deal. Also, since I just got my X5, this is the only forum I'm a part of - feel free to cross post this anywhere else you think it might generate interest. Hopefully we can get at least 10 people! Lastly, just in case anyone is confused, these are the tail lights this group buy is for (4 pieces total, with amber turn signals). Ryan, I apologize in advance for lifting your picture haha.

Some additional information:
1. We can mix and match clear and smoked in the group buy 2. The lights are covered under a one year warranty against defects. 3. After we get 10 people confirmed, it will take around 2 weeks to get you your lights.

I just checked the USPS website, and although I don't know the exact dimensions of the package yet, it came out to $47.80 for priority mail International (6-10 days). That means the total is still less than $350. Let me know if you'd like me to add you to the list. Thanks.

Thank you to the person who cross posted this on Xoutpost. Even so, this doesn't seem to be generating much interest. Hopefully we start building some momentum...

I'm also interested as you guys get closer to 10.
My car is MCB. Would be awesome to see what the clear tails would look like on that color. If not just an image of the lights and I'll use my imagination. |

Good job getting a group buy going - the LCI lights are a huge upgrade.
With that said, they really look best with an LCI rear bumper IMO. The updated tail-lights with that matte black pre-LCI bumper is not a good combo. While you guys are at it, get a group buy going on an LCI rear bumper |

Good to see there's some additional interest. If we count the maybe's, looks like we're at 6 sets. Only 4 to go!
If you look at the link to Ryan's thread in the OP, there's a partial side to side photo there. Looks like the reflector is different and I believe all LCI's have painted bumpers. The LCI tail light upgrade is a nice relatively inexpensive way to freshen up our cars. It's something we can do at home with a few hand tools. Replacing and painting a bumper is going to get fairly expensive. If anyone has a source, and it's something there is demand for, then by all means...

Appreciate it. I guess the bumper thing doesn't apply to me since I have a 2010 X5M.
Still trying to figure out what the clear tails look like. Are these white? Or are we referring to clear over tinted? You can put me down for red ones without tint. Went from a maybe to a yes. |
