joemor · 05-09-2012, 08:33 PM

Here some pics of my old and new x5m

wsybert · 05-09-2012, 08:41 PM

Wow. What a difference in the halos when they are side by side.

kokovovoru · 05-09-2012, 08:55 PM

OMG the new headlights alone make a very big difference.

doug_999 · 05-10-2012, 12:13 AM

From the pic above, seems like it is necessary to change the hood in order to retrofitting the led headlight

How did you get your 2013 x5m I was told it wasn't in production yet according to my ca in alex va

jimmy08awd · 05-10-2012, 09:22 PM

Looks pretty sweet.
Do you notice the difference from within the cabin driving at night?
It may just be me, but the chrome grille rings look slightly wider/flatter as well.

Can you tell me where you see you need hood changed to swap the lights?

blue dragon · 05-11-2012, 10:38 AM

How bright are the new LED headlights?

That area looks slightly different, or may be just an angle

TahoeM3 · 05-12-2012, 10:57 AM

The hoods are the same.

Same exact shape. I doubt that it's beyond a simple swap + coding. Definitely needs a few rewires, capacitors, and someone with a Masters in this field

Guessing at around $2.5k since the new model adds $1900 add on for the new lights i understand.

doug_999 · 06-13-2012, 05:38 AM

Question, are your calipers blue on the new one?
