European Blue Head Lights

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Hi all,

Placing an order for a 2021 M5 comp today and tormenting myself over color choices...impossible as i like so many of them.

Think i will go with Nardo as my 1st choice or Frozen Dark Silver.

Two questions for you all:
- Custom interiors - can you spec it with fiona red on M5?

- Has anyone looked into sourcing euro headlights to have the blue effect? I know they aren't sold in North America, but curious if i could aftermarket them.

Thanks!

Blue "effect"? You mean the BMW laser that has blue painter trim inside the housing? Would need coding. Dealer won't do the install as they're not legal in US.

Congrats.

Here is the answer for the first question:
You can spec the M5 with Fiona Red interior through BMW Individual Manufaktur. It will be more expensive than standard options and will require longer production time.

I am looking to get the headlights, and they are not available for order yet. It is looking like it can be done for about 8k. I am looking for cheaper options.

That is so mean looking with that Frozen Arctic Grey. Do you have additional photos? I did black with sandstone interior. I think I see sandstone in your M5.

I'm so on the fence about the colors. I love the frozen silvers. They look great in certain pictures and more drab in others. Your pics look amazing. They look very contrasted and sharp, which I love. Just don't know how they appear normally / most often.

Well, it depends if it's sunny or not.

Even if it's a Frozen paint, weather really plays a big role.

The Laser Light restriction on the M5 is only for US models. Strangely, the 3, 8 and X5 all get Laser Light here in the US. I think it has to do with the 5 series light housing which projects a stronger 600m source that doesn't comply with US DOT regulations.

I’ve heard quotes in the $20k range for red leather. I asked about 2 toned black/ Lemans blue and it was $30k. Added a fair amount of production time too.

Yet the US version of the M5 CS gets them so
