Why do you hate LED's? Have you seen the new headlights in person yet? They are amazing.

4. Electronic dash display
5. Updated steering as mentioned for regular 5 series ?
6. Carbon brakes.
7. M6 steering / Carbon interior trim ?
8. Side bolsters buttons (True 20 way seat) ?
9. 2nd year of production with less problems.

Let me know if I am miss something, or there is something that won't be for sure.
I think you've got it exactly. Individually, no item is earth-shattering. Combined, it's a nice set of enhancements.

It's enough to make me delay my purchase from spring to late-summer, but if I had a 2013 model now, I wouldn't be too upset by these changes.

Yep I have seen them on the M6! I love the current light on the M5 as they are only on Bimmers. The LED's are everywhere now, and have become trendy. I just like what I have, and very satisfied that's all.

Looks like many are confused on what LED means. LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. It does NOT mean that M5 or 5 series would have those small blue lights on the bumper. Angel eyes of current 5 series and M5 are LED right now.

When they said that there would be LED lights, they meant LED headlights. The actual light coming from headlight would be from LED, not xenon. Angel eyes would not be changed, only the shape would probably be squared off.

Is there a technical reason for squaring off the LED headlight? I'm bummed BMW is straying from the completely circular halo.
