LED Headlamps, B&O sound options on M5?

Fester · 02-24-2012, 10:56 PM

I'm wondering if LED Headlamps, B& O sound options will be offered on M5? Sorry if this is a repetition but I'd be very interested in these on this car...

I have heard yes on the B&O and no on the LED's but I have not heard confirmation of either of those statements from BMW

i think they probably will have B&O as an option on july production

Just speculating, but if not for the US 2013 MY, it should be offered as part of the 5-series LCI (2nd MY for the US M5), one reason I am a bit apprehensive about jumping on the first yr run. Had a 2000 M5 (first yr for US E39 M5s) and wished I got a 2001 given the updates both cosmetically (angel eyes, cells tail lights), electronics (Nav screen), and engine 'tweaks' (revised Vanos/oil accumulator).

I saw the full LED's today on a 650i and let this be my vote to include them for the F10; they look quite attractive and would add to the safety. I don't know that they aren't, but I sure hope they are before my order now.

Hi there!
Were you able to spec your car with this option already? Do you know the code for such option? Thanks!

i am already thinking in case I get 2013 and then 2014 comes with LED option, if it would be possible to retrofit. Wondering what's the difference between wiring and other things between LED and non-LED headlight on present 6 series.

99% sure BMW would release such LED headlight update to exterior. Because if already looking for a difference between 2012 and 2013... new options include ceramic brakes and B&O sound.

I think retrofitting with LED would be very difficult based on LED drivers and rest of the circuitry that would go with that...it would be worth waiting for IMHO....
