The unknown is somehow more interesting than the known.

Anyway, for those showing off the MSport is not the best option,
only the lights will show out the LCI differances
Not even any new nice 19" (nor 18") wheels, yet

Just back from my dealer, made an appointment for progman 25. They had an LCI - wanted to check the taillights actually - turned the lights, they look really beautiful. Took some fotos with my mobile (sorry, they're crap).
The front angels are DLR, the inner one is especially bright. Nice.
On the rear I can confirm the brake lights are bulbs (not led) - the night lights are particularly BEAUTIFUL with the 5 led rods lighting up bright and blood red !!
They are definitely a bought item when/if they become a retrofit option, no doubt anymore.

The rear turn indicators are, as we know LED, but maybe not known is there are 3 lines kinda like rods (rods, similar to the night time 5 led rods) along the indicator that, when it lights up they have the same design as the night lights. They're really nice.

Does that mean on the LCI that all headlight assemblies now look the same whether xenon or halogen? It would be good if that were the case as I think the old halogen units looked cheap and xenons often specified to spruce up the daytime look even when the lights were not being used, as well as the obvious night time benefits.
Not sure what the lens will do to the halogen beam though - improve or worsen the range/ pattern. My old 2000 Audi A6 had halogen ellipsoidal headlights and the low beam was appalling such that I had to use the high beam most of the time. In the updated 2003 A6 which I had next this had been vastly improved with a larger lens which gave a much better beam.
By the say, the colour was deep sea blue - really nice under the showroom lights but often can be very different in natural outdoor light - sometimes for the worse - we'll have to see one on the road to judge.
