So if I get a new BMW such as an M5 with laser lights and do no coding, How would that compare with my 2016 F80 with coded LED?

The F90 M5 doesn't have a laser light option so no you can't. The next generation M5 will in a few years. No one can come US laser lights yet unfortunately. I hope they get approved for full functionality soon. In their current form, laser lights still make a huge difference in normal usage.

I don't think that is correct. Everything we have seen says the laser lights for the X5 kick on at 37 mph.
From the manual: |

I need to revisit the high beam/laser lights again tonight! On another thread i posted, my high beam was so bright i thought my laser kicked on! its similar to the photos you provide, but I wasnt going 37mph. i swear it lid up the dark street. I was driving alone, so didnt want to try to take pics. |

37mph actually, and my point was to show the actual path of light nothing more. Where are you guys getting this craziness from about my post? I never intended for it to show their true potential only that yes they work and go further in a more direct manner |

see what someone else posted above. It's definitely 37mph ,you can see the difference. |
If I believed everything posted on forum......
Well anyway. Just like post above you quoted that states they laserlights were not approved in USA.
Regardless, if it's in manual, that's conformation enough.
