You probably should start by editing the thread title so it doesn't say NO OLED. |

Yes it will be a simple retrofit minus the cost associated with it. BMW should have put LEDs from the start.

I agree. The eyebrow also is part of the turn signal which I don't like. I prefer the signal to be the corner only.

BMW drivers have been complaining about this ever since the E46. It'll likely never happen that way. BMW leaves things out on purpose to make the refresh more appealing and/or to differentiate it from a non-LCI car. If LED lights are that important to some of you, wait for the LCI instead of buying pre-LCI cars. It's pretty simple.

OLED will likely be optional

Because many current M4 owners (just like f80 owners when Lci came out) wanted to have the option of upgrading their taillights & were hoping for OLED? :

WOW!!!!!!! The New M4 LED's LOOK FANTASTIC!!
I tell you once I saw this thread and saw the new LED's for the M4, I was pretty sure I had just been "click baited".
I love the way these lights look on the SSII F80 in my garage.....I am glad I waited until the F80 LCI came out with them.

So now the biggest question is when will the LCI M4 be available. Looking at previous history I would guess March. That is the month my E46 M was built (2003) and my E92 (2010) both of which where LCI. Here's hoping for a 3peat. I'm ready to order for another March built LCI!

No. Some people concern themselves with how their car looks. Heck, if these cars weren't as attractive a lot less people would want them. Would I worry about tail lights? No. but I think people have the right to complain about things that make the car look better "subjectively" in their eyes. I would never see the LED headlights when I'm driving. But to me they are infinitely more aggressive in styling than the xenons. So I would spec those for sure without ever "seeing them" while driving. |

In other words I think people have a green light to complain about how their car looks even though it's about an area they never see. I'm not saying they have a green light to complain about what BMW does every LCI. |

It also didn't register at the time that we've already seen OLED lights on camouflaged lci F82s being tested. Needless to say, I'm feeling the shame.

This thread echos almost every "LCI release" thread out there.
Pre-LCI owners justifying their own tail lights and downplaying the new ones. Oh it's not much different; I like my [pre-LCI] better; who cares, you can't see them while driving. We've seen this trend enough here on Bimmerpost to know that eventually these comments downplaying LCI upgrades will become irrelevant. While looks are subjective, it is absolutely clear that BMW has the capability to release nicer tail lights at launch, but purposely hold-off until the mid-cycle facelift LCI as a marketing strategy; pre-LCI lights are intentionally compromised. At the end of the day, there's a reason people will/have swap(ped) out pre-LCI lights for LCI lights, not the other way around.
