Don't see them now with the ///M. Was a set of two. Ordered a while back thru Amazon & they came direct from China.

Measurements are.

5CM/1.9" long
2.5CM/0.9" wide
2.1CM/0.8 tall.

Small flat blade screwdriver will remove the originals. Plug is keyed so you can't put it in wrong. New unit just snaps in.

They will list fitting the 2019 G29 Z4

This looks like the same unit but is a rondel not a ///M

See Bear 3 posts up. It's pretty simple. Just be cautious of the clips.

As TAZ007 said be careful.

Start at one end with a small flat bladed screwdriver. If you look closely you can see a little slot to put the blade in. Then work your way around the factory light with your fingers to remove it.

Be firm but don't force it just move a little more along. Once you can grasp it use your fingers.

You can use the screwdriver to slide the plug out.

Push the plug into its slot. There is a raised key on the plug that matches a recess on the light.

To Install slide the end of the light with the the plug in then work the rest in with your fingers till the other end snaps in.

Retaining clips (part of the light) are on each end & are plastic so be careful.

Does anyone know if 63312463924 is the correct part number for the Z4?

I enter my VIN on the BMW site and it tells me that they don’t fit.

May I suggest a slightly cheaper product? I bought 2 from Ali express for $8.88 including shipping. They fit great and seem to do a good job.

A lot of these Ali express die out quickly from the reviews I've read.

Thats true. To be safe is better to buy two pair of lights knowing at least one light will fail in the next months. Thats 20$ instead of 10$
Still very cheap.

Agree, saving £80 on non oem parts for a £50k car is a false economy.

Maybe you could have saved $10 on your $72,000 car by not getting a spare. Had them on my last two cars & they worked for the whole 36 months each time.

Thing is looking at the OEM units & the aftermarket units seems like they come out of the same factory or are identical clones. Have to be out of your mind to pay the BMW parts tax for them.

With the BMW parts tax of $140 a set you could buy 14 sets & keep it in logo lights forever.
