Day time running lights
Hi ,
Just picked up my 19 x5. 4.0 m sport. I did not get the laser lights due to not being able to use them really where I live. I noticed after that the angel eyes are more full on the laser lights. Had I known that I would have got them. Just wanted to make sure all know this. Without laser you get two lines for halos with laser you get 3/4 circle type shape. I’m annoyed. Which I knew earlier! |

Curious as to why you wouldn't be able to use them

Ya just looked and see the difference now - that kinda sucks as they don't really look like BMW halo's on the standard lights.

Can someone post a picture so we can see what the "issue" is?

It's not really an issue. BMW launches vehicles loaded with all the options and doesn't follow up with photos of "standard" vehicles when orders open.
Standard LED headlights doesn't have the full signature corona rings like the optional Laser headlines. Top photo - standard LED headlights with partial corona rings and signals on the sides. Bottom - optional Laser headlights with full signature corona rings and turn signals on top. Meh looks like mobile upload isn't working.

It's not an "issue" but it doesn't look like a bmw. I'm surprised bmw did that and didn't give the full rings on all models. It looks so much better with full rings. Annoyed (still) |

I agree. It was a distinctive feature of all BMWs for many years and now feels like they're removed it so they can up charge with laser.

Until this year I never opted for the upgraded lights... but it's got friggin' laser beams!! I had to do it... I guess it's good that I did now seeing this.

Here is a picture below
Shows the "dissing" BMW gives you if you don't purchase the laser show. See page 73-76 of the "General Vehicle Electronics" technical training guide in this post: https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1563063 Last edited by lumpydog; 12-09-2018 at 09:18 PM.. |

Edit: Most of the Germans seem to differentiate their headlights in some way so I wouldn't be offended by the styling difference. If you want an example look at how Audi does theirs for the HID vs LED headlights

Same idea with the idea that adding a trailer hitch takes away the ability to open the trunk with foot movement. It may seem obvious in hindsight (I actually knew this before purchasing) but there is really no disclosure about this and others have been disappointed to learn it's missing. Same thing with understanding where ACC is included or not. All things I've seen others confused by, in these forums. I did way more homework than your average buyer does and I'm still tripping over unexpected additions or omissions depending on the options and packages you ordered. |

I am with you on this one, disappointed I don't get the full rights, but the laser headlights especially in the US are not worth the added expense to me and would not pay a grand to have 2 more inches LED added.
