It will most likely happen when the new laser headlights come on-line as an option.

Surround view adds cameras that allows you to display a bird's eye view of your car on your nav screen. It's really cool and very useful when you are trying to park in a tight spot.

Decoding variable light distribution further down your list of options.

I don't think Xenon lights can be adaptive like in your video and only LED lights can do that, right?

The 3 series Xenon has the same feature when you order anti glare.

It is matter of perspective and that is what is nice about this forum.

Some people want M brakes and some people say that 650 for a colored caliper when they do not track the car is useless.
Some people want MPPK to keep warranty and others want JB4

Some want nav, and some people say that you end up with a bigger screen that is from day 1 inferior to what google maps, your iphone or navigon provides you.

For me LEDs, yes they look nice (but 90% of people have no idea LED vs Xenons) but if you live anywhere near woods (deer), if you drive sub optimally lit areas/highways, you will be thankful for the extra saftey and visibility.


The guy asked for a picture and I provided him with a picture.
I also appreciate everyones comment.
Everyone have a good week, relax and

Exactly, NJ is full of Deer, I wish I opted for L.E.D. headlights now. I find the Xenons are bright but they don't project very far down the road. I'm kind of disappointed with the xenons.

Here is another LED picture, in case it helps!

This is a really good photo.

Does the LED headlight flicker (pwm to prevent overheating)?
Does the housing heat up much when low- and high-beam are on?
Is there any information about the lifespan?

[Bobby Pynes]

Is this available on the F30 as well? I can't seem to find the option.

Nevermind, just figured it out. Only an option on the coupe

When I saw the LEDs in person at the Welt, I thought they looked cool and actually wished I had opted for them. When I brought it up with my A when I was ordering a few months back, he just said they were just auto high beams. The guys is just clueless!

Love this quote. Please don't mind if I start putting it in my sig!
