If you really want them, get them from AliExpress - that's where all these "retailers" are getting the Chinese GTS style lights anyways. There's zero point in paying double for them just to get them a few days quicker

I’m in the minority, but I like the dark red ones. I didn’t like how much the stock ones stuck out on my BSM. I like that these are a more muted color. I also like the light configuration. I don’t like everything about them, but do like them better than stock.

Maybe I'm nuts, but I don't put cheap Chinese garbage lighting on my $65k German car. Especially when it looks obvious that it came from either Ebay, Pep Boys, or AliExpress.

That's about perfect. Is it film or tinted clear coat? What percentage?

Film. Not sure about the percentage but will ask & update. Changes the look for sure. Have a customer with an F82 CS in lime rock grey that had his done after seeing mine & it looks fantastic with that color too.

Would be interested in the film used. I went to my local place that did my PPF and all of their tint film looked like bad orange peel.

Swapping taillights? Hahahah, feels more like a BRZ thing.

I liked the OEM ones when they were first introduced by BMW, but as it sometimes happens, the aftermarket is going to ruin the uniqueness and it runs the risk of becoming the altezza tail light of the BMW world.

Edit: sorry to buzzkill, I love the internet and talking trash, but I don’t want to rain on anybody’s parade too much, I’m just joshing around. When it comes to car mods, I’m happy if the modder cat is happy.

GTS tailights look extremely tacky in my opinion. They look OK on F82’s as the GTS variant came with them from the factory, but on any other cars, they look very cheap. It was cool when they first came out, but now everyone has them and they’re played out.
M2’s tailights are too short in width for the GTS “dragon scale” design imho.
