Headlights?
#1
So I've been paying close attention to this new f10 m5 and I'm really liking what BMW has done. Now my question is the headlights..? I've been doing some research ,watching videos and looking at picture, but I can't figure out if the halos and white or that ugly yellowish color? If they are lci or pre lci? Would anyone know this ? And if so help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Just to clarify, the stock Low Beam / High Beam Headlights use Bi-Xenon D1S bulbs, which have a 4300K color temperature. These are "white", but still have a yellowish hue to them. The Cornering Lights (Inside Headlights) are Halogen though, and use H7 Bulbs, and the fog Lights are also Halogen and use an H8 Bulb (35W) or an H11 (55W) bulb with the M-Sport Package. For 2012, the Bi-Xenon D1S bulbs are now standard for all models, whereas for 2011 they were an option on the 528i; however, the Cornering and Fog lights remain Halogen.

Sorry, I tried to make it as clear as possible. What you are saying is true, but only for the Outside Headlight Bulbs, which are the High / and Low Beams all in one. The Inside Headlight Bubs, which are the Cornering lights remain Halogen. They Halo's (Angel Eyes / Corona Rings), which is what the original OP inquired about and I originally answered, are neither Halogen or Xenon, they are LED.
