What year did bmw introduce the latest e93 tail light refinements?

I've seen older models of the e93 and the taillights flare out on the sides a bit like a Lexus IS.

Then in the last year or two it seems - BMW has improved the shape of the tail lights so they have a nice fluid shape.

I bet a lot of you haven't even noticed this subtle change. For those of you who have - did this change come about during the 2010 model year?

E92/E93 had the same taillights from 2008-2010.

Starting with 2011 they changed to LED taillights with a slight change to the look. The shape however is identical to previous years.

You are correct sir - I just downloaded pics off the internet and did a side-by-side comparison.

The fluid look on the inside of the LED taillights makes the outside look more fluid as well - but you are correct - the outside shape is indeed the same.

bmw guy 2020 I swear almost every thread you create the answer is easily found by searching, this post is a perfect example you figured it out!

I am not one to usually care about "reposts" or "do a search bro" but it's becoming a habit with you!
