I'd like to buy your original lights from you, as I absolutely hate the red USA market turn signals.

PM me if you have a set you no longer need once you upgraded to black lines. Note I need E91, as the E90 won't fit.

Thanks!

You could get those from your dealer and save the international shipping, exchange rate and duties hassle. Or go aftermarket, check out our supporting vendor list.

Perhaps. But the idea is a win win for me and the european owner who wants to get rid of his stock lights.

The problems with that are:
1- Not many European e91 owners on here (in fact not many e91 owners from anywhere).
2- Less likely a European owner want to get rid of their stock lights since they already have the blacklines.
3- You may be underestimating the inconvenience and cost of internation shipping with all the brokerage fees, duties and taxes levied. If you have not done it before, take my advice, it is a lot of hassle even when dealing with a company that ships internationally on a regular basis via tier 1 couriers, let alone an individual who would want to save on shipping costs.

But hey, I am not stopping you by any means, just giving you some insight.
Good Luck.

Thanks. It was my understanding that euro owners do not have stock blacklines as I came across a post from one who had upgraded his european lights to blacklines (alas, for an E90). As for duties and shipping, I'd have them shipped within Europe to a relative who's coming to visit soon.

I see, you have it figure out then :). And you may be correct, I am not 100% sure if it is standard as blacklines or "whitelines" or whatever they would be called.
