They are smoked taillights- look fantastic on darker coloured cars...

Here is the dark line for the e90

Mine F20 Business+ Sportline which I will receive June 30th is Aspen White...I think these blackline taillights will add to the black & white theme for my car...

You gut the numbers separated for parts / labor? Because no way in hell I'm gonna pay for fitting tail lights at a dealership.. Thats like 1 connector and 3 screws per side . So my question would be: Parts only = ??€

From the top of my head labour was just EUR 81,50 and that's fine with me as I am not Tim the Toolman Taylor in fact I donnot own any tools myself

Hm 300eur for a set of taillights seems, even for bmw, quite much. We'll see once I got mine and asked my dealer

They are definately LED. For once you can see it cleary on the picture, and also its a M135i shown, which comes with Xenon by default, thus with LED-taillights.

Regarding the compatibility:

I guess it depends on what you got, as it did with the E87. The reprogramming was just necccessary when you switched from normal ones to LED-ones, regardless of blackline or not. In addition to that, you had the facelift-problem with the E87, which also caused some additional work (new connector) if you retrofitted facelift and/or led taillights to your prefacelift E87. With the F20 it will probably be the same. Either you replace non-LED with non-LED-Blacklines plug&play(or you'll have to somehow figure out how to get the LEDs working (as you had with the prefaceleift E87)), or you replace LED-normals with LED-Blacklines plug&play.
