The only thing that is disappointing is the standard bulbs for the turn signals on the HiDs. Really BMW? 100K car with standard bulb turn signals unless you get the LED package? Regardless, I'm sure those long signal strips won't go unnoticed, even in fog, but that is just rediculous on BMWs part.
If you are right about the turn signals not being LED, there is i difference between the American and European versions. The following is from a comment I made on another thread.

My car is a vert of March production (2011) and is standard fitted with:

FRONT:

Xenon headlights
LED parking and position lights
LED turn signals
LED fog lights
LED daylight driving lights
Halogen light only: Adaptive curve light

REAR:

LED rear lights
LED turn signals
LED brake lights
LED number plate lights
Ordinary bulb in the rear foglights

All info according to my Owners Manual.

Since appearance of the coupe, even the vert is optional with full LED, which is a completely different headlight housing.
