If you know the part number (which you do, since it was in the image) then contact @r33 or getbmwparts.com for a price. Curious about the wiring though! If you chase this down, would you let us know what you find out ? Thanks!

Ditto, let us know. This looks awesome. My brother's ML63 has illuminated light blue AMG door sills and they look amazing.

Thanks! I have been waiting for these to show up since i saw them as accessory for the F16 X6! I think the LED door sills now come with batteries that should last 2 years. There should also be BMW Individual ones as a special order.

Sorry guys, was busy entertaining my family over the weekend.
But, here is my reply to Matt's PM. "Sorry for late reply, I will find out the cost today. As far as installation, I am not sure on this particular one. But, I did install the Brabus one on Benz 10 years ago and I believe it took about 2-3 hours to get it done. It is not that difficult, just the wiring work that's a bit tedious. Just be careful not to get shocked, it is only small amp, but the high voltage makes your finger tingles for the whole day. How do I know, I shocked myself twice. LoL."

Many thanks @r33. They maybe battery operated, making the install just above my sill level.

Yeah, I'm thinking about the door sills as well. That's definitely a nice look if they light up blue like our interior LED ambient lighting.

Looks like most feel the same about the projectors. If we were under 21 I am sure the results would be inverted. Meanwhile, here is a plug and play (no wires) projector with "M"
from Deutsche eBay but no sills there yet: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261510241224...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT |

I just ordered a few set of the M Performance LED sill cover.
It is still says unavailable, but let's see if my source can do some magic here. I will update once received and installed.

$30? Sign me up. X one looks nice, M one is tacky especially if you don't have an ///M vehicle, otherwise I wonder what other options there are. I remember someone in the forum had these, I can't find that thread though. Maybe it was at the 'fest.

For those wondering, these are battery powered. There is a magnet that you attach to the underside of the door above a sensor spot on the sill. When the magnet is over the spot the sill turns off. Installation should be easy.
