I guess we’ll have to wait and see what they do but hopefully it looks somewhat better

Sorry pal

Oh great, I guess the m3/m4 will get these goofy DRLs too when LCI hits.

Not real current however within the past year.

On a coupe you can only get 225, which is bizarre for a 4k lbs vehicle with an m badge. Alpina come with 255. BMW is deliberately handicapping performance, and I don't like this approach. m440 has to compete not only with m4 but also Alpina, which is now owned by BMW. They shouldn't have bought Alpina but rather focus on making BMW better. They've created competition within their own brand.

It looks promising

BMW definitely withholds capability and features to encourage you to move up. What’s surprising is what a sweet spot the 4 GC is in the lineup. Quite the anomaly. Loving mine. Might be the best affordable/practical/performance model they offer in an ICE.

Can you share your tire sizes? First time they’ve deviated from the 225/255 they have been doing since the E46

Wonder if I can switch to that 245/255 setup on my 2020 M340

Never mind, I looked it up, looks iike in order to go 245/40 front, they are forced to do 255/40 rear, which is taller than the 255/35 we’re used to seeing.

Not sure I’d want a 40 profile tire in the rear, although this setup would be more balanced and have less under steer for sure.

My 440 GC has 245/35/20 fronts and 255/35/20 rears. This is the OEM upgrade spec. Possibly the chassis and its tires sizes are optimized to serve for the i4, as well?

So these Bavarian savages kept those grilles huh?

The GC also comes with 245/255 in 19’s
That’s what’s I was curious about.

But the problem is they don't engage often unless your on BFE with no cars and no light at speed.

I get and I think I agree on your last comment, although I'm a bit lost on 'BFE',? The weak points of the lasers is they only come on above 40mph & only if there is no other source of lightning, however if those conditions are met, ie if you drive on country/ back roads then there is no comparison with these & the LED below them.

BFE... Is middle of nowhere on a deserted country road with no other light source or cars.


80% of use case I don't think these will ever turn on. I have then and have yet to get them to engage and likely wont- major metro here. The high beams will but lasers no.


Also I believe that the other factor was certification of lasers was costly.

Got you. I find it hilarious the restrictions that are/were in place for lasers over there, the fact the warning ⚠️ label 🏷 has to be so prominently placed 😄

They passed a U.S. law in which now you can have
advanced matrix lights but the ruling still hasn't been done.

At least we may be able to get OEM Euro standard smart tunneling headlights in the next decade haha.

By then the tech will have moved on to laser matrix neo trinity lighting.

I think it looks pretty nice except for the rims, personally they aren’t my fav.
