Laser Lights? Buyer's remorse...
I am having serious twinges of regret/annoyance that I can't get the laser lights on my x7, but if I had ordered an x5 or x6, I could have.
I'm in the US market, so I realize they would not have been fully enabled, but am I crazy for being kind of pissed about this? I can't be the only one. |

One of the primary reasons people upgrade to Laserlights on X5/6 arefor the Iconic halo daytime running lamps versus the half halos with standard LED.

Thanks, guys.
On one hand, I live in a more rural area, so I do use my high beams a lot. I also half expect there to be a coding fix in a couple of years to allow euro spec. On the other hand, high beams only shouldn't be THAT big a deal, and my halos will look just fine with the LED standard lights. |

Well I’m so shallow I have no idea what the difference is, but I think the little blue insert looks super cool with the blue m sport brakes lol. Enjoy it, either way it’s nice

Functionality wise, I agree that the tuned down lasers sren't much better than the regular LEDs in the US.
However, they look very sharp. Just like at the beginning of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmTZ...ucakVA6PmMPMYg |

Lasers make for an incredible high beam experience for late night/lonely highway cruising, but outside of that I can't see the benefit.

as I said, it's not necessarily the functionality in the US that sets them apart from the regular LEDs - it's the blue 'cool factor' that does... |

I LOVE that the beams automatically lower when cars approach, or when approaching from behind. I find the standard beams to be more than adequate. I don’t think you will have a problem with them. |
