nooooooooooooooo way :D :D :D. I gotta get some cash together then. Whats the pricing going to be like?

BigFas

01-03-2005, 09:29 AM

Damn! They look HOT! Especially as the LED's are throughout, not just the bottom part! Good job teddy!

Nice work :cool: These are proper aftermarket LEDs ;)

Black Sabbath

01-03-2005, 10:42 AM

[cool [cool [cool Teddy can you put me down for a set
subject to price confirmation [fight might have trouble
persuading the other half [fight that I need to spend yet
more money on the car [bang

mysticm3

01-03-2005, 11:13 AM

01-03-2005, 11:36 AM

teddy, i want a set, let me know how much first of course. [cool
been waiting for along time teddy, good job. [ok

Mits

01-03-2005, 12:08 PM

Teddy you know I want some of those mate :D ....depending on $$$$
What about the bit that goes on the boot lid though?

dw_uk2000

01-03-2005, 01:35 PM

Definately interested matey. Put me down for a set if possible.

After you've sorted out the Evotecknik members there are around 30-40 members on E46fanatics that are deperate for these, so you maybe able to make a tidy some of these.

mysticm3

01-03-2005, 03:32 PM

will do my best for the people on the forum, price to be confirmed very shortly. ;)

The bit on the boot lid is not available, no one seems to be making them at the moment? [bang

By the way the first batch coming in by air will contain only 10 sets, 5 for coupe and 5 for saloon, the rest is coming in by ship later to save some cost. If pre-order numbers are high I'll bring some more in by air so people do not have to wait too long :)

We now have:

Saloon: Afif, DW_UK2000, Black Sabbath
Coupe: Kamm, Rossi, Mits

As usual, no payment is required in advance until the goods are in [cool

Until Teddy can get them, you can buy them separately from BMW. I'm not surprised if they cost as much as the LEDs themselves :mad:

are they not just the reverse and fog lights? which aren't led based anyway? [hmm why the change for these? [read

peppernick

01-03-2005, 04:11 PM

They blend in better with the LEDs. The older ones look slightly out as there will be a step between the red and white section.

mysticm3

01-03-2005, 04:18 PM

quite true, I shall make come enquiries about having this bit made then :)

Mits

01-03-2005, 06:45 PM

Whoopee Teddy you da man!! [jam

I'll enquire at the weekend how much the part on the bootlid costs, but if you can get them....then i'll just wait.

Afif

01-03-2005, 06:55 PM

i assume the bootlid bit from the dealer wont fit saloon?

mysticm3

01-03-2005, 07:48 PM

I don't think I can get them in the near future so it's worth asking dealer how much they want, or try Cooks Ferry or C3 they do OEM parts at discounted prices :D not that I don't do OEM parts though lol :p

mysticm3

02-03-2005, 08:45 AM

of course lights first :D It's a 20 minutes job and can be DIY. Bumper, ICE and tints etc require expensive labour cost and you need to ask someone else to do them for ya LOL :p

330-Singh

02-03-2005, 09:33 AM

Teddy - provisionally put me down for a pair dependent on price though :)

[cool [cool

mysticm3

08-03-2005, 08:55 AM

well expensive to advertise but thanks to Scorcher for designing the ad for me [cool I think he is our Mac daddy on the forum ;)

Price will be confirmed tomorrow.

mysticm3

08-03-2005, 08:58 AM

aww the indicator is still normal on the saloon :(
They did that on purpose so that the coupe version can be distinguished from the saloon version.

Afif

08-03-2005, 11:19 AM

They did that on purpose so that the coupe version can be distinguished from the saloon version.

tell 'them' they already distinguised by the fact the indicator is in the middle. They shud have made it led aswell [ok . Also have you got a pic of the saloon version lit up?

mysticm3

08-03-2005, 11:49 AM

you'll see them lit up when they are on your car :D

Afif

sparkyunlimited

08-03-2005, 08:10 PM

you can put me down for a saloon set - depending on price.

I might try and get some of those LED indicator lamp things but I bet it will cause trouble with the dashboard lights.

Have had me eyes open for a set of LED rears for ages! :)

mysticm3

08-03-2005, 10:09 PM

Retail will be 229, Evotechnik members can expect a GOOD discount. Price will be PMed to everyone on the list tomorrow.

People know they can find cheaper stuff on ebay but why bother buying from me? Well I am sure everyone knows why :cool:

BigFas

08-03-2005, 10:12 PM

but why bother buying from me? Well I am sure everyone knows why :cool:

Because you're just so darned good looking :D

Way to much info :eek:

mysticm3

09-03-2005, 10:56 AM

im trying to find a reason to chose ICE over these lights and feel happy about it :cool:. Your not helping :p. Also someones beat you 2 it :eek: a quik browse on ebay the other day and someone was selling these lights! Not for saloon though. Coupe copies ;).

I can't seem to find those LED for sale on ebay, the factory promised me only one authorised seller per country, can you PM me the link on ebay please mate? :mad:

330-Singh

09-03-2005, 11:44 AM

Retail will be 229, Evotechnik members can expect a GOOD discount. Price will be PMed to everyone on the list tomorrow.

So do different people get different prices?? can you put me in the 'Give him a really good discount' list please mate? [cool

BigFas

09-03-2005, 11:47 AM

Singh, you're a member here, that qualifies you for a discount. BUT, if you let Teddy give you one of his special "man-hugs", that qualifies for the mega-super-duper discount

330-Singh

09-03-2005, 12:25 PM

Thats funny Fas!

ummm I think I will go to the back of the queue and observe carefully!

Teddy I was just messing about, I understand that its not always a good idea to publicly post your discounted prices.

Just wish you would stop encouraging all the extra expenditure though! :eek: LOL!

peppernick

09-03-2005, 12:31 PM

Just wish you would stop encouraging all the extra expenditure though
He might give you a man hug for nothing if you spend more at SSDD, now that's a bargain :D

330-Singh

09-03-2005, 12:39 PM

someone give me that ebay Link PLEEEASE!!?? lol

Chaos

09-03-2005, 12:40 PM

dw_uk2000

Or the uk version

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=72242&item=7959871828&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

Not too sure about the indicator lights not being led myself, hard to tell them apart from facelift saloon lights that have reflective sections that look led from a distance.

Chaos

09-03-2005, 03:19 PM

Item location: Hamburg, Germany
I guess they're not stitching Teddy on the sole supplier in the UK thing then, even if it is the same people. It's all plus 30 quid P&P too of course, plus it won't come with the special SSDD service.. ;)

mysticm3

09-03-2005, 03:40 PM

that's on US ebay not UK ebay :D but I see he advertise from time to time on UK ebay too :mad: Anyway USD 338 plus USD69 shipping charge [bang

dw_uk2000

15-03-2005, 07:23 PM

Teddy just dropped my set off. [ok

Took 10 minutes to take the old ones off and around 5 to put the new ones on.

Only slight niggle is there are no covers for inside like the OEM ones but they do look cool in the dark.

Just have to get those LED indicator bulbs now.

mysticm3

15-03-2005, 09:49 PM

As you can see Black Sabath has swap the yellow indicator bulbs to silver chrome ones and they look ace :)

Teddy fitted my coupe lights this evening, exactly the same as the original, same shape and brightness....no difference. [cool

15 mins to fit and no lights on the dash, no recoding, no module or anything needed. Well impressed! Get your orders in now before the next batch get sold out :D

mysticm3

17-03-2005, 10:00 PM

25-03-2005, 08:52 AM

Cant be arsed reading the whole thread.

So these have the "adaptive" part of the LEDS? Where the outer ring lights depending on how hard the pedal is pressed?

mysticm3

25-03-2005, 09:33 AM

adaptive brake force display was not officially included on E46 by BMW but if you get original BMW LED lights you can retrofit the module like Peppernick has done. But apart from some BMW drivers who really know their cars who else (drivers of other makes of vehicles) is gonna know about this feature anyway? :confused:

Matt H330

07-04-2005, 10:03 AM

Thanks BigFas. Show me the way to EvoTechnik and within minutes I'm thinking of spending money!!!

Teddy, could you please pm me the price for the saloon led light? Might go for a set if I can do it without the wife finding out.

BigFas

07-04-2005, 10:08 AM

LOL, welcome.

For those that are interested, Matt lives about 30 seconds away from me, I only found out yesterday :)

If you need a hand fitting them, come over anytime ;)
