Each person to his own, but in my view it is typical BMW making a quick killing when they could just fit LEDs instead of xenons. Just like the old days in the UK when you had to pay for the cabin heater. Now all cars have them as standard. 
Just an opinion you understand. |
For that matter I don't jump out and look at any part of the car while driving. But I do admire the appearance of the X3, including the front end fitted with LED's. I have to say a BMW is a pretty unnecessary investment period, so the argument against LED's as a "luxury" seems a bit odd. That said, what is $1900 on a $50k car to bring it inline with the next 10 years of automotive lighting? At the very least, it's not instantly outdated.
Not much on internet arguing, just giving my 2 cents. Thanks.
