AW 2012 E88 Blacklines

BMist371 · 05-30-2014, 11:05 AM

Blacklines are hands down my favorite exterior mod so far. Well worth the money! I have some LCI tails now if anyone would like them. Ill probably post them in the Classified section. But for now, heres the new tails!

I'm jealous of the Blacklines. Ugh, I need them ASAP!

BaNaNaBoy69 · 06-01-2014, 05:11 PM

BMist371 · 06-01-2014, 06:11 PM

ECStuning!

135Pats · 06-01-2014, 06:48 PM

Jeez I really need these....

BMist371 · 06-01-2014, 07:23 PM

Anyone on the fence needs a pair. I can't imagine putting the regular LCIs back in.

Schmiedmann is the other place but you have to deal with customs and taxes.

A lot of people get it from Schmiedmann. The people in the DIY install thread usually get it from them. You just have to pay shipping and taxes so the final price will be close to $400.

Here's a DIY install thread: DIY installing LCI tail lights...

PS: your link doesn't work.

Is this the one? http://www.m-o-dbargains.com/oem-bmw...7273427-28.htm (remove the dashes)

If so, they are not blacklines. They're the standard OEM LCI lights found in 2012-2013 models.

Duhhh, I should've read more carefully. Yes, that's the website. I guess there are only so many places to get blacklines now, it's becoming a rare commodity.

ECS and schmiedmann are about the same after all of the import taxes and shipping. Mid 400s either way. I didn't care to deal with the customs crap so I went through ECS.

7smurfs · 06-02-2014, 08:31 PM

Blacklines definitely my favourite cosmetic mod

Price is NOT the same. Not sure what import taxes you're speaking of, I paid $390~ shipped for mine from Schmeidmann and the only hassle involved was getting a call from a FedEx agent who emailed me a form to fill out and send back. I also paid just a little bit more because of my payment method (can't remember the amount, maybe $10) so that brings the price down even more.

BMist371 · 06-03-2014, 10:19 AM

Many people on other threads have mentioned an import tax that seems to be hit or miss. I wasn't trying to deal with that or filling out forms for like $40. ECS was easier. Thats the route I went.

Really must have been hit or miss then; when the FedEx agent called I asked about any duties and she said there shouldn't be anything like that for an OEM part from the manufacturer. The form took longer to print off than it did to fill out. Anyone else willing to spend those 5 minutes for the $60 difference after shipping, is welcome to the info.
