328i to 430i GC?
So the past few days I've been in talks with a dealer about a 2018 430i Gran Coupe.
I'm relatively new to BMW - just bought my 328i a few weeks ago and a complimentary loaner began it's inception So the dealer has offered to pay off my '16 328i for a 430i GC with lots of goodies. One of the questions I had was on the headlights..this particular car has the round design as opposed to the modern hexagonal look I have on my '16. Is this normal? Dealer says it has the new LED headlights but they look pretty round to me. Can a veteran give me some insight? Is there a 'package' missing that includes these? See the difference: |

Dealer swears xenons are no longer available on 2018 GC and newer.

So I'm correct in assuming the executive package includes the adaptive headlights - which include the hexagonal design? So the "LEDs" that come standard" the dealer spoke of are the rings, just LED bulbs instead of xenons? If that's the case, BMW could have included the new design without adaptive, like the 3 series. My current lights below - the design has grown on me in these few short weeks |

Correct on the 2018 GC Xenon is NO longer available. You get standard LED or optional FULL LED.

Wouldn't the full LED design also be considered LCI? I'm still learning and not up to date on most of the BMW terminology. |

Yes, although it was optional pre-LCI. I'm referring more to the DRL pattern--that's what I thought you were referring to...

I drove a 2018 4 series loaner and it definitely did not come with xenons. It was LED in the projector housing that previously housed the xenons. The DRLs were Halos and the lights were non adaptive.

I took delivery of a 2018 440i GC last month and because of the shape of the headlights I assumed they were xenons. BUT the label on the side says "BMW LED". Check out my pics and decide for yourself.
My VIN says 7/2017 build.
