AW 1M with Black-line vs Stock Tail Light Comparison

Installed the black-line taillights today on my 1M.. take a look at the difference:


- Inside: The Black-Line tail lights (Left) are black, STOCK (Right) are white.


- Stock Tails Left / Black-Line Right
- Overall assembly has a light tinted look, bottom strip is slightly darker, the inside of the lights have a darker background, and the top lining is solid black with the LED dotted lights slightly darker.



Hope this helps you guys who were on the fence. I'm fairly satisfied!

http://www.bmwpartsonline.co.uk - but I would NOT recommend them.

If I could reorder, I'd buy from http://www.schmiedmann.com/

Thanks much.

I'm actually flying to Germany tomorrow. Maybe I can just pick these up from somewhere?

the black lines look really good on alpine white! Anyone know if the Schmiedmann price of $307 is for a pair of taillights or for each?

Would like to see them installed on a BSM 1M before committing, but think they would look great!

Is this an OEM part? If so does anybody have the part number? This is much cleaner than my current light tinted reverse strip setup

the Xenon one is the right price which is $304. The 63-21-2-225-381 only cost $233.

which one fits the 1M?

They seems on holiday leave which cannot pursue the order.

My dealer has quoted me £265 GBP.

I have Adaptives as well as Xenons.

63-21-2-225-282 is the correct Part# for the BMW 1M (we have Adaptive + Xenon)

63-21-2-225-381 is for BMW 1's without Adaptive + Xenon headlights

Super easy. Requires two people (one to hold the tail light in, while the other tightens the bolts) to get the tail lights properly snugged since the foam fitting is brand new and not yet worn in.
