Headlights OEM BMW or Tesla
I\u2019ve had both a pre-facelift M3 and LCI M3 CS. Honestly they are both great and I think the LCI is a nice new interpretation of the halos. Alternatively, I don\u2019t think the pre-LCI needed a new interpretation. Either way, they are both better than newer version, which still look to me like they are upside down.
Pros: great new interpretation
Cons: newer version upside down
Vehicle:
BMW
This is why I got the 2019 model. The lines are far more aggressive in my opinion. Really appreciate the hexagonal look. Beautiful little details that really tie the car together.
Pros: aggressive lines, beautiful details
Vehicle:
BMW M4
Facelift, I have the pre though
Vehicle:
BMW M4
I have preface lift and planning to upgrade, the chrome is the biggest problem with pre-LCI, cars don't don't have blacked out headlights look dated after a while.
Cons: chrome is a problem
Any BMW. You have to take the side fender and various front engine apart just to replace a headlight! Dealer says they'll replace both for $2000.
Cons: difficult headlight replacement
Vehicle:
BMW X3
I aimed the lights down and tinted the lenses to cut the glare. Teslas are horrible.
Cons: cause glare, horrible
I bought a used 2021 BMW 5 series. I live in a rural area without streetlights, so it’s pitchblack on curvy 50mph roads lined with trees dropping limbs and large animals crossing. These headlights are dangerous. Can’t see without my high beams, yet there are oncoming cars every 3 seconds. I’m left driving blind half the time.
Cons: dangerous, poor visibility, needs high beams
Vehicle:
BMW
Can't believe this is a "sealed unit" that managed to get condensation inside from driving through a puddle. What is BMW's QC coming to?
Cons: condensation inside, poor quality control
Vehicle:
BMW
Yeah Tesla’s are cool, getting one fixed is not. Had a headlight crack from road shrapnel on the freeway and was gonna get it replaced. Got quoted around $1,200-1,500 for one headlight that still has a functioning bulb because they only sell the assembly. Needless to say, piece of shit is still cracked and going strong 2 years later
Pros: functioning bulb
Cons: headlight cracked
My wife\u2019s 2020 118i headlight had the yellow issue in one. Non-dealer bmw shop quoted us $3,500 but we had to do both for $7,000. About 50% of the residual value of the car, for a yellow headlight.
Cons: yellow issue
