Great to hear. Waiting for more pictures of the silver one, has some body damage so I need to take a look at that!

Getting closer!

Also, CarPlay can be retrofit for 50.00 on any LCI car FYI. I’ve done it on my past 3 f31s and it’s worked flawlessly.

Re: adaptive vs standard LED, there is a difference. The adaptive headlights turn left/right as the steering wheel turns. This technology has been around since the mid 2000’s - probably not necessary, but I have enjoyed it. As long as the headlights are LED, and NOT halogen, I would be fine. The halogen lights are really bad…

Bump!

A lot of this looks minor and purely cosmetic. Any larger issues not identified in pics?

Seller was really nice and honest.

Doesnt look too bad to be honest - I think realistically, its prob a 33-34k car for the spec and mileage.

adaptive LEDs have other benefits, auto high-beam assist, and they are also inherently brighter than standard LEDs (they are rated at higher lumens output). I think if anything, them turning left and right is the least impressive upgrade over standard LEDs compared to the other 2 I mentioned. standard LED output is pretty bad IMO, i've been on the hunt to find a good deal on a used adaptive LED headlight set, they're hard to find and are usually very expensive.

Yup, had t them in my last F31 that got
totaled and they were great!

I have oyster in my F31. No dye transfer at all

Public-facing pics are up. Looks like it really is in great condition. Still think the price is a bit steep but I'm sure someone will pay it

adaptive LEDs are also higher wattage than standard "fixed" LED headlamps. More output, swerve for greater safety, win win you feel me?!

Already did - on it!

I called. Build sheet is pretty decent. Missing the executive package. No Adaptative, No Park distance.

Put a hold on it...fingers crossed. What comprises the executive package again? I've owned 6 F3x over the years - figured I would know by now...

I've had both types of LED and neither seemed superior during ownership tbh. PDC is not a big deal to me...would almost prefer not, as its easier to wax/detail.

The one feature I have not had yet on an f31 that this had was the distance control adaptive cruise with the sensor on the front.

Passing on it, I was just given some info confidentially and I’m not going to buy it.

i've been trying to research adaptive LED headlights vs Standard LED, in your opinion its not a huge improvement? I find the standard LEDs to be really weak at night, but upgrading to adaptive LEDs is a $2k investment and the only the other person I spoke to that had both headlights on their car said it was only about a 10-15% improvement in brightness... which to me doesnt sound like its worth the money and effort.

I've had 2 f30 335s with xenons as well as 2 f31 with Adaptive LED and 2 f31 without. The longest car I kept was for 28 months and that had the normal non-adaptive LED lights. Never did a side by side test, but did not notice a difference between LEDs...

The only difference I could tell was regarding the automatic brights - which had the extra button to turn down the brights when someone is coming. Nice feature - but couldnt tell the difference between brightness.

yeah my main concern is brightness, I even learned that I can add automatic high beams to my non-adaptive standard LED headlights since I have the KAFAS2 camera in my car, so in a way that feature alone isn't even exclusive to adaptives.
