So confused...M3 LED's, yay or nay?

Anybody order their M3's without LED's?

It's a $2K option and I'm considering letting it go. Any pics showing them side by side?

Thanks.

Definitely looks to be a useful feature but not necessary.

I wonder how many of the Canadian buyers actually went with this option...

Did you change the chrome front and side grill/gill yourself? If so was it hard? I am not good with stuff like that. Did you get it from IND?

Just get it
I think it's well worth it. To be honest I am not sure if the lighting at night makes much difference but the looks of the car changes for sure.

I did. They have a very distinct look opposed to xenon. They are hypnotizing, in a good way. They are much better than my xenons in my E92.

Great pics! I had a blast through Europe with a few AY M4/3's. Looks fantastic in all settings.

bmw's LED headlights are not as good as the MB or Audi, IMO, in terms of brightness.

Besides, there is no proven test that LED outperform Xenon for lumen output

Sure, but it looks modern and cool, will last much much longer and is much more energy efficient. Good enough for me.
