Mirror indicators

Are the f30 mirror indicators the same as the g20 do we know. I like the sequential ones but can't see any. Save the Audi jokes

I don't believe they are. The G20 indicator tapers towards the end (nearer to the windshield) whereas the F30 ones are abrupt/straight).
And Audi jokes? I love sequential indicators. I can't BMW doesn't have them! They look stunning at night!

You can find the sequential ones on ebay from various Chinese sellers but make sure they do not send you ones for the G28 as much like the difference in the cars, the indicators are longer and won't fit the G20.

I know. I originally liked the idea of the scrolling indicators and after having scanned around for them i ordered a set from ebay which took around 10 days arrive. After unpacking them I noticed that one was longer than the other so contacted the seller who informed me that the mix up was down to having one indicator for a G20 and another for a G28. After a very long drawn out process to get my money back, which involved the seller first suggesting I send it back at my cost, then I try modify the part or my vehicle to fit, then offering just a 70% refund, then offering to send the refund in full if i removed my claim via ebay, which of course I did not, I got my cash back from the claim.

After all of that I as i have said on this very subject on another similar thread began to think what was the point of the sequential indicators if the rear lights did not do the same so in the end I decided to keep them as is.

I got mine long time ago but didn't install yet since i'm still waiting for the carbon fiber mirror cap shipped, but mine said G28 on the box, it make me feel nervous right now lol

G20 Smoke Mirror Signals lights!!!

Hey I was wondering if anyone would be interested in helping doing a fitment test.

1. Mirror signal lights smoke
2. Front Bumper Smoke or Clear Reflectors.

Would prefer someone who also has an you tube channel to help do an install video if possible.

I will provide a couple of images of the front bumper reflectors.
Attached Images
