Any pictures of the G8x with base (non-laser) headlights?

I have yet to see a G80/82 without executive pack and I'm curious to know what the headlights look like / whether there is an eyebrow blinker.

The DRL are u-shaped. I believe the blinkers are on the side. Looks less aggressive than the laser lights. If you search g8x reviews on YouTube, there are a few cars that don't have laser lights.

Just placed an order for 2022 M4 base. But it looks like I have to forego of the laser light due to supplier issue. I haven't seen any photos of non-laser light G8X. Does anyone have their car without laser light? Thanks!

It looks horrible without it. You can now option the laser lights without executive package for 2022 model and it’s way cheaper !

Check here for picture comparisons.

I personally couldn't care less about the visual difference. I won't get the value out of the lights themselves in the US enough for me to warrant getting them. I opted instead to spend money on individual paint than go with the lights or exec package.

If you don't get the laser lights you can announce from afar that you have a poverty spec model.

You have to add them on as a separate option for 22, not included in executive package, they are like $1000 add on

The non-lasers make the car look like it's falling asleep.

Yeah it's way worse than the old generic halos on base models. It's like they purposely went out of their way to make them look considerably inferior.

It usually always more expensive to retrofit. If you want them and they are available I would add them to the build.

I got mine without the laser lights and wish I had gone for them. The lights neither look that good nor do they perform any where near to the F8x gen LED’s IMO. They feel like aftermarket LED bulbs in Halogen housing.

Pay now retrofitting isn't cheap.
