Another question is - why does BMW persist using light bulbs...? Too expensive with LED only? 
So in case for example LED's are 200 EUR more expensive, you will have to pay 250 EUR or more option for LED's.

Another item is that (as far as I know) LED and normal bulbs are different in Angle Vision.
If you look directly to LED lights, the will shine hard. If you see it from a side, the will be hardly visible.
So it should be OK for all legislation, before they can implement.

I like it
Much better than the Audi's leds, they look kind of cheap.

Question is: are they retrofitable?
In the E39 they where.

I sure hope so. Problem is that the the E39 didnt have any LEDs so the retrofit wasnt a big deal. With these it might be a problem because of the use of LEDs on the turn signals.

Also, latest Progman has support for LED rear lamps, so it may be that they'll just be supported on pre-LCI models with newer Progman anyway. I'll be finding this out when I do the retrofit myself.
