LCI standard headlights

So spotted a few now... are the new LCI headlight (day running lights) just those little led at the bottom of the standard halogen lights with no circle ring like the Xenon used to be ? .. even with the MS+ added?

I loved the way my Xenons looked on the F30 but have seen a few LCI's and they didnt seem to have the same look just a weird LED at the bottom.

They sound like the pre-LCI daytime lights.

Including 4 Series or only LCI 3 series?

they look shit by the way compared to the Xenons would have been a step back. but I suppose they were better than the std halogens thats what I have on the 1 Series.. there pish... and look pish... as soon as the 6 months probabtion is up on my job I am changing car...

Teatson did you order the GC? If I am getting another BMW i think it will be that loved it from the first day it got released best of both worlds.

Current LCI MS+ package comes with LED as standard and can be upgraded to adaptive. Yes they have the circle ring on both lights.

Just LCI 3 series for now.

No I went for 335d in the end as it's faster & £30 less per month plus effectively £700 less deposit.
