Go with OEM Blacklines...can sometimes find them used on here for $200-$250. Here's a pic of my E90 with them. Good luck!

Just get the lci's they look way better and they are LCD! I got mine for $204 on ebay, there are tons of deals on ebay if you search and snipe auctions.

It will but you have to buy a new trunk lid, but in the long run it's worth it.

You want my blacklines? I'm going back to stock. You have any friends in NorCal that are driving to you any time soon? Locals $200, for shipping I gotta ask post office how much cuz it's four small separate boxes, maybe I find a big one to fit all.

What color is your car? DEPO are slightly darker than OEM which is why I went with them, black.

O.E.M. Newton BMW New Jersey, on e-bay $299.00. Depo will leak.

Get OEM Blacklines, and don't do the LCI tails. Blacklines just look more agressive/better.

[JDane07]

I prefer blacklines over LCI taillights.
If you have a darker car, you may prefer DEPO because they are smoked more than the OEM ones.
My bro has an alpine white e90, has OEM blacklines and the car looks great.
I have a sparkling graphite metallic e90, have DEPO blacklines, and looks amazing.

Just all depends on what color car IMO.

[Pete Schweaty]

I would go blacklines over LCI. I got mine for about 180 on ebay.

[///M3NACE]

I have OEM tails and my buddy has DEPO and pretty much its the same ish. I paid the same as him but I got mine used. Go for the OEM though if you can afford it, its not too much more anyways.

[Tim07e90]

OEM all the way

[cmyk]

I went with OEM. They do look a bit lighter out of the box, but once installed (on a black/dark car) they look much darker. I'm happy with them, and personally like them more than LCI tails.

I went with smoked DEPO blacklines. I've had no issues with them at all and saved a bunch of money from OEM. They fit, and look great.

I'll get some pics when the sun comes out...

I'd go with OEM then.

[kingofthedemo]

Once I checked out the LCI's up close I really liked them, they look much better in person than they do in pics, and to me the blacklines just look dated, and kind of cheap, they remind me of the 90's ''euro light trend'' that was all the rage with honda's. Besides LED's are the way to go.

[username604]

well, i prefer the smoked so i got the DEPO.
i would have gotten the clear OEM if i had a light color car though

[kE90]

OEMMMMM black lines
