1 step too late for BMW on the front LED.

why BMW so late in designing and building this
they had 1 done last year with the Mille Miglia Coupe Concept but this 1 is a bad design compare to Audi 1

Sorry, but this looks like some cheesy tuner add-on to me. IMHO.
just look at the LCI led light for the E60 every 1 what them on the older cars. I have led already so no need for the LCI 1.

I remember reading somewhere that BMW is developing an LED "matrix" type of headlight that will be intelligent enough to actively mask out specific areas of the matrix as oncoming cars approach, etc. In other words, it'll only shine light on areas where it won't blind other drivers. No need for a high-beam, low-beam scenario, they'll just be on or off.
Being "first" with an LED headlight doesn't really mean much to me -- it's how the technology is applied that makes the difference...

I think the LED matrix system I was talking about is described here (in German):

However, I would not consider it as an "LED headlight" because the main beam was still an ellipsoid Xenon and the LED's looked mostly cosmetic......sort of like the eyebrows and angel eyes on our E60's.

That's the most ugly thing I have ever seen. I see it on German roads every day and allways start laughing at those poor drivers.
