LED turn signal on F30
Hey guys
Did anyone noticed that new 3series is missing LED turn signals(blinkers), outgoing model had both front and back in LED, but new 3 series carries just one bulb. I asked dealer and they had no answers. He said my comments will be passed on to headoffice.
In 2013 when every manufacturer is (KIA/Hyundai) are bringing LED, why would BMW shy away?
We may see LED blinkers in 3 years when current 3 series gets face lift - may be that's the reason BMW left for future face lift, not a good idea. IMO it will add to the great looks of current 3 series.

I think you answered your own question. BMW will use the upgrade in a few years to entice new buyers. Early buyers lose out. Like you, I don't care for this marketing strategy.

It definitely seems like a step backwards from my E90 LCI (2011).

Yeah it's weird, my 2010 328i E90 had the LED turn signals, but then they took it off on my 2013. I liked the LED's also

Hell, it's a step backwards from my 2006 E46 M3.
