Has anyone noticed the LCI not having laser lights, color change Bowers&Wilkins, or a
I feel like nobody has talked about this (or at least I've tried searching for a forum and haven't found anything)
Does anyone know why BMW decided to not give the US laser headlights and instead gave us non adaptive LED ones? All US spec M5 only have LEDs that do NOT move when you turn the wheel, only up and down. It does have the cornering light, but that's it. Another issue I noticed is the assisted driving package with autopilot doesn't change lanes for you. In my 2021 750i and 2019 M850i coupe, you tap the turn signal, and the car will change lanes for you while in autopilot, so long as you gently hold the wheel. The M5 however does not do this. Lastly, the Bowers&Wilkins… so my 750i and M850i have it too, and change color with the ambient lighting. My M5Competition LCI is Individual British Racing Green with the Tartufo interior and the Bowers&Wilkins. Now obviously I have the ambient lighting set to green. But, the stereo stays white, and there's no option to change the color of it in the M5. If anyone knows these weird issues or quirks that'd be great. This is my first post so I'm curious |

Mine does it, BUT I will NOT be letting it, I think I can just about move the steering wheel on my own.

F90 CS have them via A Waiver of Non-Conformity due to the production volume being low enough to utilize this. |

Seriously? WTF is that all about?
Also, isn’t there a box you have to check, somewhere in the menus, that you have to allow this? Maybe I’m misremembering, and I don’t have my car with me right now, so can’t check. |

Yes, I miss the Lazer Lights on my 2022 M5. I did not know this about the individual paint, very interesting.

No Laser lights. So annoying. Opening an old wound. Often debated. Canada 5's have them. Euro 5's have them. USA doesnt. But theyre available on most every other series in the states. Just so aggravating.

The European Laser lights did not pass regulatory here in the US. We get a less powerful version...

Only the brightness on Bowers and Wilkins lighting can be changed. The colour cannot be varied like the rest of the ambient lighting. This is deliberate and designed so that the B&W has its own signature lighting design. Can’t speak for other models in the range but this is how it is on the G30/F90.

The video here is of when I got an M850i test car for a few weeks from BMW. It's just odd. [IMG][/IMG] |
