I've got the M logo on the driver's side, and BMW logo on the passenger side.

Somewhere I've posted my install, along with pics and part numbers. Let me know if you can't find it.

I got M ones on AliExpress work great. I will add a picture when I get a chance. The OEM ones are obscenely over priced. I paid $10.

That's a HUGE price difference! Interested in hearing how they hold up.

I had a similar pair on my M340 lasted all three years of my lease with no issues. I guarantee you in a blind test you would not be able to tell the difference between these and the OEM ones.

When the price delta is so great I always go with Ali. I can get 10 pairs and still be ontop. Live and learn right? Next time.

Door projector lights compatible with the new 220/G42?
Or M240I only?

Nope, been though all 17 pages of your posts, and didn't find it!

So you got the ‘Short Version’. Wonder what the long ones fit?!

[JoeyJoeJo]

I have the OEM and tbh I'm not that impressed, I had some in my MB A35 and they were pin sharp, the BMW isn't nearly as sharp regardless of which slide is used.

Didn't even know there was another version? These are the ones the dealership parts counter told me I needed.

Do you have them properly focused? Mine are sharp, but it's not like I paused a 4K movie.

[JoeyJoeJo]

You can rotate the slides to get them orientated how you want but there's no focus adjustment.

There's a 50mm (this) and a 68mm that fits a bunch of E and F models.
The 50mm is mostly Gs and the F40/44

The 50mm is the same as the mini version if for some reason you wanted mini slides.

I thought I remembered making an adjustment to make them sharp, but must be thinking of something else. Either way, I think they look great at night!

I have the OEM projectors and am happy with them. Install takes around 5 minutes for both sides. Mine look sharp as well. No focus adjustment to my knowledge.

I since adjusted them so the image is on the same angle as the door.
