I love the front, but think the rear is a little too busy.
I don't see this happening yet. I predict that the laser lights will be available for 5 series and up only (just like how LED used to be only available only on the more expensive BMW's). If we are lucky, maybe we get xenons standard across the model range, with LED still an upgrade on lower models, but hopefully cheaper (maybe $900 like what xenons used to be)

My prediction is that we probably won't see this for a couple of years, or whenever laser headlights are more readily available in the US>

I'd be amazed with standard LEDs, Xenons yes but the surprise could be LED optional ...... or optional body kit to look identical to the PS3 GT car!! (sadly no the later).

The i8 has them as will the next 7er , something else in 2016 and an additional M4. They will be more wide spread when the new 5er arrives in 2016.

^ So exactly what I said then (5er and up receives laser headlights as option, LED standard).
Don't see LED standard happening, at least not with the current generation IMO. That's OK though, while LED headlights look better IMO, functionally, they aren't THAT much better than xenons (unlike xenons vs halogens).

You are probably correct that they are lighter and more efficient, but definitely not enough that you'll somehow feel as a driver in terms of handling or MPG. Having said that, the only reason I'd really want to get the LED's is because the angel eyes look so cool because they are much more 3D than the xenons. It really comes down to how BMW will package this with the M2. I'm willing to pay $1900, but if they include it in a $4500 Premium Package, then I'm out for sure.
