So tonight I see the first LED 6 series behind me at night...

The LED lights look weird. I thought it was an R8. Thats how they look from about 150 meters behind. As the car got closer it looked like a Ford with a cheap eBay HID kit. I guess the LEDs are unique...

I used to want LED's and was going to do the conversion. Then I lost the desire for them completely. I think the '13 lights with the honeycomb sides look much better than the LED units with all that chrome inside the light. Also I like the pre-LCI eyes. Maybe because they are classic BMW?

NO, I am thinking about retrofit LED headlights to my 6 now. I just have HID right now.
You made me think about it again.

Really? Hater? I can get a 14 cash if I want to. It's not hating. It's MY opinion. Just like you have yours. But no hating here.

Agree. The wife was driving the m6 behind me,so I finally got a chance to notice the LED and go figure I prefer the HID on my 13 m5...we must be crazy

How the fuck can someone be a hater on headlights? LOL- his post was purely subjective.

I love when people post what they can afford - like there is some way to verify it, or that you have an M5, or that it is yours, or that the bank isn't chasing you for money, or your kids won't be able to go to college because you "bought" the car. LMAO

Agree with Grover432, that was kind of a douchey comment.

Going to start looking into a LED to HID retrofit now...

Actually, I don't really belong here because I bought a 2013 535 XDrive instead of an M5 - what with al the snow where I live for 5 months of the year, I'd just be spinning my wheels.

I hate everything about the M5 that isn't on my version; I also hate every opinion that is critical of the things on mine...

Oh by the way LEDs are awesome... I really don't know what they look like to other drivers on the road... I'm never in that point of view.

I just took delivery of my '14 M5 last Saturday and I have to say I love the LEDs - much more aggressive look.

As mentioned here it stands out as a much better looking light than anything MB or Audi offers.

Will post pics in the Northeast fog/rain tonight.
