L Shaped LED Lights

Here is undeniable proof that the LCI 3 series is getting the 4 series concept headlight design.

Could we see them on the M2? Hopefully.

I'd love to see that. That's going to go great with the aggressive front end and wider track.

Glad there's more differentiation to the xenons

See, I'm not sure that I like the L shape - it represents more distance from the traditional 4 round lights on the front of a BMW. Looks more like what you might expect from a Lexus in that regard.

Perhaps it will look better without the camo - but I am not sold...

I'm 100% with this comment, really appreciate the 4 round light heritage. Don't want to become Audi with a new light shape every 2 years.

I'm actually kind of wondering if it'll really have these L shaped LED's. These only seem to work with headlights that are connected to the kidney grilles, so cars like the 3/4er and next gen 7er. But cars with the 2er front end? I'm not sure. The 2er Active Tourer doesn't have it

I like the "L" shaped lights, I think that it is the next evolution for the brand.

There's a possibility that it was me. LOL.

But when I made that comment I was referring to LED lights in general. He did confirm that the M2 would have LED headlights as an option. That's what I was referring to.

The LED L shaped lights at this moment are up in the air, but it looks like there's a good chance the M2 will get them as the LCI 3 series is getting them.

Cool well maybe greatness will come to those who wait, but I like how quickly you came forward to clear two things up at once lol. Just messing w you. I really hope you are right.

The LCI 3 series that was spotted with the L shaped lights isn't a prototype by definition. It's a test mule, most likely a production model.

I, too, hope that the upcoming M2 gets the L shaped LEDs. Fingers crossed...

I dunno, you'd think they would have included the L shaped LED's in the GT concept. I'm really thinking it'll just have regular LED's, which is completely fine by me. Like I said, those L LED's only make sense if the headlights are connected to the kidneys:


P.S. Dang that looks good

with the 6er now getting the L shaped lights chances are looking better that the M2 will get them also

If you look closely, it isn't getting it. What you are seeing is a piece of trim at the bottom of the headlight. This is just a regular angel eye


If you skip to 1:14, you can clearly see it's not lit up.


That's why I think the newest PS of the white M2 is probably the most accurate one of the headlights
