Different headlight design that doesn't allow to confirm to the law

sure i saw that explanation before, i just wonder WHY they did it that way.

at the end of the day its a brighter light way down the road, assuming the road is straight, so its not the end of the world.

I'm not understanding why my wife's 2020 X7 M50i has the laser lights, but now not an option on the M5C. I couldn't believe it when I placed my order last week and didn't see laser lights as an option on the price sheet.
It's been discussed. It's the way they designed the headlights for the M5 and how it relates to US laws. The 8 and the X can have laser light because they're designed to be separate entities or something like that while in the M5 the low and high beam use the same fixture etc. idk exactly but it's been discussed. It may be available with the LCI? But I know not for the pre-LcI
Odd because myM340 has laser high beams and similar light design to M5

Changes are less noticeable in real life....they basically changed the tails and headlights a little....hardly anyone will notice either.

I would love the 12 inch Navi screen, however.

Blue details on headlights look cheap and somehow chinese. I wouldn't take laser lights only because of it.

Incorrect, as said in another post but ill summarize here:

The US code states that there should be 2 light sources per side or something along those lines, however the new headlight design for LASERS includes a third source dedicated for laser projection.

Thus this new design violates that rule because there are "3" light sources per side and 6 in total?

Why not put on the lights from the M340?

Too much blue. What us the blue and BMW. 4 Series has 3 blue colors for exterior. This one is even worse, gigantic blue plastic on high-end headlights. Screaming Made in China

That is odd. Maybe some kind of demo mode.

Facelift isnt nice.

Preface is much more sporty, more bmw, more agressive looking.

Its too "refined", the lights look like VW or octavia IV. Missing the angel eyes style.

That backwards tachometer is going to annoy the hell out of me if I get another BMW. I thought the M's were spared from it.

I have read somewhere that in some of new software updates they add circle option so you may choose - that would be perfect!

But I cant find the source and dont know "when".
