Or a Chevy. OT, but I had a Chevy Cruze before my Bimmer, with all the bells and whistles, and one of the things I miss the most is the comfort access.

Can anyone shed some light on the standard headlights on the 340i? Thinking about ordering one in a couple months to replace my 335is at lease end. I know the standard lights aren't adaptive, but are they still LED headlights? Or xenon with LED DRLs like my iS?

They are FULL LED standard, just not adaptive.

Thanks for the fast response! Exactly the answer I was hoping for.

Np! Yup I researched extensively, placing my order tomorrow for a 340i. Skipping the Adaptive as I live in the city.

I'm in the same boat. No need for adaptive lights where I live, but wanted the LEDs. Good luck with the new ride!

I configured my 320i with the lighting package and it is led (non adaptive) I believe but it does have the corona rings..

320i is able to do this, 328i is not.

You don't get the corona rings with the lighting package on the 328? I know you need the premium package in order to get the lighting package(which is ridiculous)

Looking at the order guide am I right assuming there is no cheap way to upgrade the Halogens on the '16 F30. Its seems the lighting package is now dependent on the $2k premium package which is arguably not worth it.

It also appears the '16 F30 doesn't come with Xenons at all its either halogens or LED's....

WTF!?

Hold that thought lol, I took my car in for service this morning, they gave me a 2016 428 as a loaner and it's got Xenons!!! No LEDS... check it out

That's because it's a F32... Only F30 (sedan) and F31 (wagon) received the updated LED headlight for MY2016 and is therefore no longer available with Xenons. All other body styles are still available with Xenon units until MY2017 I guess.

aha.. Good point! Didn't think about that

Just to wrap this thread up, I was forced into getting a 340i since it came with LED 's standard. The price difference of a 328i and equally optioned 340i was a couple grand apart, made no sense to get the 328i.

This narrowed down my options to 320i , 428i, 340i.

320i not enough power, out.

428i was ~$5-6k less in MSRP but leased for about the same actual $ due to residuals/incentives etc, so I went with a 340i. It's currently in production, with an estimated completion date of Jan 11th.

Exactly the conclusion I have come to.

Good to know someone had the same thought process, for a while I still felt I was just convincing myself it was the logical reasoning cause I wanted the bigger and better toy

I went through the same thing with my wife's car. In my case though, I am pretty sure I was just justifying it to myself since I knew I would have drive it sometimes.
