These will not work on e90 non-M models, sorry.

3.) If V3 were 10 watt, what are the V4's?
4.) Why is the V4 anodized in black, won't that produce less light than polished?
5.) Will the outer ring be as bright as the inner ring?
6.) Will this throw codes (even though the previous version didn't, they'll still ask).
7.) Are these as bright as the 2012 OEM's.
Most information is already covered in the thread from the previous v3.0 models - the v4.0 is about 10% brighter.

Pictures will be provided as time permits.

But I always wondered, since the AIB's have a rearward facing LED, the area that I circled would reflect even more light output if it was polished(?)

Can't wait to see some installed pics!
The reflector housing does most of the work on light distribution - allowing the rings to be evenly lit. While polishing the pocketed areas may add for light deflection, the amount would be very little.
