Today I pulled the trigger on a M3 Comp xDrive. Dealer requested a $5k deposit, I was able to talk them down to $2500. That feels like a win, as some other dealers I called wanted a 10% deposit. Once I have an official production status, I’ll update.
This is my 2nd BMW, I’m currently driving a 2023 X5 and that really gave me the BMW bug and sent me down the “rabid” hole 😂🤣😂.
They are saying this should hit production in December or January and be in around April. They actually delivered my X5 a few weeks early, on my first order, fingers crossed they are at least on time or early!
Let me know if you have any questions about specs or ordering process.
Are they really?…honest question…I love the way they look with the little blue accents and when I ordered car I felt they were a must have but after using them…functional I honestly don’t see much difference between them and standard LED or even the old xenons. For 1K I feel they are a meh option but that’s just my 2 cents.
FYI, the US-spec have no active blue elements because the law here prohibits any blue illumination. The only blue you will get with laserlights in the USA is paint.
In europe parts of the housing actually glow a faint blue.
you are probably right, there is a lot of groupthink happening with options. same with the carbon buckets. they just hear it from everyone in their circle and then rehash it.
Check out videos of lasers vs without lasers, there’s not much difference
I think someone else said you only really want them for resale value and if you like the look of them (purely cosmetic)
But I guess if you can afford a new M3 , getting lasers shouldn’t hurt the wallet
I have driven without them and driven with and in real world I notice the difference. Cosmetically, I’d still always get them for the look
The laser light option also gives you the better looking DRLs.
