Why does BMW downgrade turn signals to non-LED for new models?

If you remember, the last E46 2005 3-Series had LED brake lights and LED rear turn signals. The first 2006 E90s has incandescent or standard bulp rear turn and brake lights. The facelifted E92 2009-2011 has LED rear turns, brakes and front turns. Now the brand spanking new F30s have (you guessed it) reverted back to incandescent or standard bulp rear turn and brake lights.

Am I the only idiot that is bothered by this downgrade in technology? Why does BMW do this? Do they think that the shiny new model design is enough to make us forget they screwed us on the on the LED lights which are brighter, safer, more efficient and just plain look better?
