Eyebrows
New LCI M5 front lights, illuminate the "Eyebrows" with the DRL's.
It looks so much different coming up from behind you. Defiantly distinguishes the LCI M5 from the rest. I tried to capture it here ( not very well).

I have to say in photos I always liked the LED headlights and wanted them. After seeing the LCI lights in person I don't want them anymore.
Not that they look bad, but I don't like the amount of reflective silver inside the headlights. I also like the honeycomb side markers of the non LED lights. I was comparing the rear lights and they are barely any different. Extremely hard to tell.

The indicator in the eyebrow is a nice touch also

yes they definitely are distinctive
but I thought the indicator lost the honeycomb and was now a bulb? this is my current m5 M5 at the shops by NeilMcRae, on Flickr

I have to say I really can't see enough of a difference to desire these. Of course If I had them I would be happy but it is a very subtle change. I personally think the new grille makes more of a significant impact in terms of looks.
The face lifted Audi A5 headlights, now that was a dramatic change. Made the car look like a new model not a facelift! |

This is what I mean about "Illumination".
You are right about the Bulbs, I just checked. The LCI Lights are an improvement IMO.

This whole topic nearly cost me my new car. I test drove the LCI that had LED lighting, detectable by the flat bottom section on the corona ring. Long story short it became clear to me that I wasn't getting what I thought I was. Although the lights have been updated pre LCI I wanted the visual appearance in the LCI/LED lights.
A solution has been reached and my build was changed pre 1200 stage...2 weeks left to wait |

Anyway a 50/50 deal has been done and I can't wait Neil to get her. Considering that you already own a F10 M5 and your still excited, you can imagine what I'm like |
