No laser for G87 and actually BMW is dropping laser lights for new models completely (not available anymore for example on LCI 3 series) and moving to matrix LED.
OLED is usually only used for rear light graphics, not headlights…and I doubt the G87 will get OLED, maybe a CSL G87, but even for the M4 CSL BMW moved to laser & LED for back.. |
Do you know why? Very strange that BMW invests in laser light technology and then just removes it from LCI models. I noticed that you can no longer order laser lights in an X5. You need to go X5 M for lasers.. |
I read about in an article somewhere when the LCI came out. Seems one of the major reasons are the various county regulations for laser lights that make it difficult and expensive to adapt for, so they want to streamline the technology for the whole market and therefore move to Matrix LED.
All current generations that have lasers will not have them anymore on a refresh and mLED will then be the top option.
Audi actually is doing the same and moving away from the laser technology.
BMW was very early with laser, they have been introduced with the i8 launch.
