LCIed MY23 M50

Finally got around to install the LCI grille tonight, for whatever reason, the OEM LCI grille is still almost like impossible to find, and the euro license plate holder is even harder...
But anyway, the pry tool trick didn't work, mine was just stuck on too good. Finally had to remove the bumper to get it done

So, after the grille, with the OEM LCI laser tails and OEM LCI G8x carbon cover steering wheel and LCI Shadowline adaptive headlights, it's pretty much all done. Guess I went out of mods to do for now... Still debating if I should go for the LCI air vents when it becomes available, I like the new air vents, but not the new ambient, if I do it, will lose the ambient strips on the dash. Speaking of dash, I like my MP carbon/alcantara seat back and the armrest so much, I wrapped the dash and upper door trims in alcantara lol

We do not have 5AU as option over here, and I didn't bother with 5DF, not sure if the part number will be any useful to you... Mine is 51135A79D55

Actually when I look closer at the pic that grill won't work for me.

I have DAPP.

Thanks

Was the LCI headlights plug & play? My car is pre-LCI w/o laser lights, I found a post about retrofitting laser lights, but I actually like the LCI adaptive headlights more. So, was wondering if it's plug & play then I can follow the laser lights retrofit and install the LCI ones.

You'll need the MAX headlight modules if you're doing adaptive version, and code the module to your car. And then you'll need BDC3 coding to get the full features.
