LED's & 4ers

In case you weren't aware, the 4er IS available with full LED headlights. Just saw a 435 M-Sport with them and they are NICER and BRIGHTER than the ones on the 5er

$1,900? I don't think so. What am I missing here?
If you get HID and GP Thunders 7.5k, isn't esthetic difference negligible?
$1,900 = BBK

Oh, I get it, you're just looking for a reason to get a new car.
It's the 3 month itch.

For $1900, I wish there was some more thought into the arrangement of the led bulbs for aesthetic value. That weird horizontal -.- eyes looks a little weird. Compare that to the audi a8 or maybe even the A6 led lights...those look awesome on or off.

I agree, the LED's in the 4,5,6, X5 and X6 look pretty half assed.

The LED's on the 7 look kind of cool though.

It's been 3mos ALREADY??? Crap!!! Seriously tho, I'm not buying anything else till either an F80 M3 or 650GC.

My wife is into trading out her '13 C250 coupe for either a '14 GLK or Evoque so NATURALLY we're looking at an MSport 428...

$1900 too much-- i had them, but changed my order to xenons instead, and used the $1900 on other options!

I would never come out of pocket for these, Ill wait until they're standard! They look cool but the xenons are sexy too, and its not something I could justify in any way. On another note Im heading to my dealer today with my pops...We will be trading either a 550 msport or M6 for a 650gc or M6gc depending on how the numbers work. Both cars are fairly new so we expect to lose something, but I cant wait!!! Love that 3 month itch!!!

I thought that the real capability of the LED programming is lobotomized for North America, and that the Adaptive function is pretty much the same as it is with the Xenons.. ie, the ditch side light follows the curve..

If they split the hi beam coming and going like they do on European models, it might be worth the money, otherwise Xenons seem pretty similar in performance ..
