I noticed that the car hase the clear headlights but does not have the new orange reflectors on the wheel wells like I thought. Also, I thought the front grill was supposed to be flush with the bumper.

Are you guys sure this is an LCI !! What gives it away (other than the rear LED which have been available for more than a year in non OEM). I cannot tell the front clear lenses? Also the deflectors on the wheel arches are not there - Although this is certainly going to be a regional thing.

the LEDs are not the same ones that have been available for oever a year... you can see the blinkers are LEDs in this case.
Also the headlights are different. I'm not talking about the lense.. I cant really tell either... but the actual angel eyes part of the head light looks different.
and not having reflectors on the side wheel arches is a regional thing. I'm pretty sure North America cars will get amber reflectors on the side. Just like the MINI... Euro ones didnt have amber reflectors on the side wheel arch but N. American cars did.

My Ride: 08 550i Titanium Silver, Black interior, sport package, steptronic
Thanks for the post - I ordered an my08 550i and I hope the ride height is like the silver car posted and not the blue one. Also I have to admit that I am not that big a fan of the 172 wheels, but there did not seem to be any choice when ordering the car, the delaer said thats what comes with the sport package, no other alternatives. That being said, I like the rims alot better on the silver car than on the blue, as they seem to blend in a little more. Will have to see it in person. I ordered the silver, was leaning twoards the carbon black, but when I see the rims with the darker car I am glad that I went with the silver. I'll post some picks as soon as I get the car most likely mid april

Id rather have the 166 wheels myself.
I noticed that the car hase the clear headlights but does not have the new orange reflectors on the wheel wells like I thought. Also, I thought the front grill was supposed to be flush with the bumper.

My Ride: 2007 Mercedes CLS63 AMG
Designo Graphite with white leather interior
Keyless Go, Heated/Ventilated seats, Parktronic
Suddenly the gap in the wheel well with my 166's doesn't look so bad.
