That said, they should be standard on the M Sport anyway.
I think you might be getting confused - It'll be a long time before LED replace xenon on the main lights.

Daylight running lights are LED for a lot of manufacturers now but unless you get xenons on the F30 then you'll be stuck with naff halogen daylight running lights.

Oh and the steerable lights you are talking about are not the basic xenons.
