BMW LED door sill plates

[wdimagineer]

This is the first set in the US. Frankly, it should stay that way. Overall, very disappointed in these. Just the ///M Performance logo illuminates - nothing else. A bit of a let down.

I'll install them when I get my truck back in a few days from routine service and take some more pictures then.

Hoping there might also be a matching rear door set at some point, even if it doesn't illuminate, it'll help the front and back match.

Is it just me, or there's been to much ///Marketing from BMW lately and it's only getting worse from now on? Up to a point that it's getting into LEGO-style: "Buy main unit and then you can buy additional units to make your main unit more ///Mmmmmmmmm"

I know this sells, but come on... there has to be a limit to this

J, can you post pictures of these installed if you're planning to do that? Also, could you fill us in on how to get a set? I'd be interested in getting a set too. I assume you have a set for all four door openings?

They only make them for the front doors.

i also got my m-performance led plates about two weeks ago, have them installed and i think they look pretty good, there subtile and dont show that much but gives a discriet and classy look when you open the door.
here are some pics: (and sorry for the dirty car, we have winter here in northen europe and kepping a white car clean is preeety hard

Thanks to opasha for pointing the way to order a set. For those of you that installed these, were they easy to put in?

super easy, 10 min each side.
and you get a wood tool in the package to take the old plates out.

Part numbers for both: http://www.etk.cc/bmw/EN/search/sele...29/51472289608

M Performance: http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/PERF...Bmw/ES2797749/

They come together in pairs so you only need to order one set. Your BMW dealer might be able to get them ordered too for cheap if you ask them with the part number, but sometimes they charge more for shipping, so I have found ECSTuning to be really competitive with pricing/shipping.

I am still waiting for my order.
My source said they will deliver some parts that I've ordered, so hopefully this would be one of the parts that's coming in.

Thanks Omar and Ben! You guys truly are the best on getting information to all of us on this forum, thank you for all you do!

I can check my local dealers here and see how much I can get them for and then ship them to you. I am sure I can save you some $$$$ over what they would charge.
Let me know if someone is interested, that goes for other parts as well.

I am sure we can work something out.

Cheers!

Just FYI, ECS just emailed me to let me know that the ///M Performance sill set is backordered from Germany and could take 3-5 weeks to get. If anyone can get this sooner, let me know.

[Violator]

I will call around later today and see if they have any in stock and let you know.

[atomic80]

Thanks!! Send me a PM or post here and let me know!

Ok, I called my local BMW parts dept, I can get the BMW M Performance LED sill cover strips for €173/$215 plus shipping. I imagine shipping to be $20 or so depending on the weight. (USPS). He said he can have them here by Friday.
The other ones won't be in stock until early to mid-January he said.

You can't really beat the local parts department's prices as as @2015F16X6 gave . However, if they don't/can't get them in stock soon, you have two more options.

You can also email Evan from GETBMWPARTS.com. His email is ewinstead@mileone.com. I wasn't sure about their shipping costs, but they gave me a quote of $240.

Other options:
$240 + shipping

Just got them in stock. 3 sets only.
I will keep one set for myself, unless someone desperately want it.

Installed already. It looks pretty good.
Here is the video.

Nicely done, Ben . @paicapo's and yours look a lot whiter (one uniform color) than @wdimagineer's. His had a tint of blue for his "Performance" word so it didn't match well unless that was due to the fact he showed it in a very well lit room.
