Agreed. The Mercedes looks very nice. We have the halo they have the led strip.

Yah, while I agree with you guys about the culture of BMW having angel eyes, and other makes using the strip, unfortunately, BMW is going that route themselves. Look at the new 6 and the "leaked" images of the new 3. They all have that LED strip now.

Exactly what I was going to say - so it is officially time to embrace the LED running light.

Plus in europe you see them on almost every make/model - there is even a kit that was featured on Top Gear, TUV approved and it is essentially what Audi/Mercedes are using.

All that being said - BMW should be the first to market with laser lights
