No GTS style tail light for M2C?

Been looking around and have always liked the GTS style tail lights but those don't seem to be available for the M2. Is it just impossible to do or no company has attempted it?

I've been waiting for something like this to come out! We should reach out to VLAND (or whoever is making them nowadays for the F30) to get ourselves a product

I messaged one company, bayoptiks , they informed me it's not available at this time but not that it's not possible. Is message other but I'm not sure of other reputable , well known aftermarket light companies...

The top and middle makes me think of the old Hyundai Genesis coupe. I like our stock tails...

Now...if they made a laser tail light outline of our existing lights...I'd be intrigued.

Whoa wonder how it looks on a 2. Part of the amaze factor on the M4 is that their tail lights are two piece and wiiiide

It's a new product that they are blasting everywhere. I operate a few groups on FB and they have tried to join to peddle their wares, but I won't let them until they prove that it's a quality product.

I've always wanted a set of GTS tails for the M2, and would definitely pay $1K for them in a heartbeat.

Yea 1k sounds like a damn good deal. I haven't got anything from bimmer plug though so I don't know how they are. Don't want another mode carbon situation….

And without seeing them on an actual car ima hold off til I see a video of them installed.

I'm not fully sold on those brake lights (initially I thought they were turn signals). The LED array just looks too outdated.

It is, you just have to be a member of the UK group.
