I know all the X5 now come with it but not sure about the X5M. By rights it should caused is under 1 assembly line for the lights, and I don't see why it won't have it on the higher spec car?!?

They do NOT come with LED corona rings.
They do not have it because it uses the X6 headlights.

That's what I'm saying, if the normal model have the LED, I wonder why AB don't install it at their higher spec model like your X5M...

Well I guess I'll find out soon enough. My X5M is scheduled to complete production tomorrow so then is on to transport, prep center & dealer delivery. Can't wait.

No the X5M uses the X6's lights. X6 was out before X5M, the X5 uses different headlights.

+1

When we took delivery of our 2012 X5 3 weeks, my CA had just delivered a 2012 X5M and it didn't have LED angel eyes. But I am pretty sure it had LED license plate lights.

No they do not as the headlights are the same as an X6 and will be updated on the X6 LCI next year.

New 2012 x5's come with LED rings, my uncle has a 2012 50i x5. But the x5m still had the yellow rings. I did a thread on LED ring upgrade you can search it, I have a x5m and it has a lot more presence now
