BMW M3 G80 G81 LCI LASER IFRONT PACKAGE
BMW M3 G80 & G81 LCI (2024/2025+ Facelift), the “Laser Front Package” typically refers to an aesthetic and lighting conversion kit. There is a specific distinction you should be aware of: the factory LCI actually removed the traditional Laserlights in favor of a new “Arrow” or “Snake Eye” LED design.
Consequently, “Laser Front Packages” in the current market are usually one of two things:
1. The LCI “Snake Eye” LED Retrofit
This is the most common “Front Package” for owners of 2021–2024 models who want to modernize their car to the 2025+ LCI look.
-
The Look: Replaces the circular/hexagonal DRLs with vertical “arrow” LED signatures.
-
The Tech: While these are officially “Matrix LEDs” in the OEM catalog, aftermarket packages often label them as “Laser Style” because they utilize high-intensity projector beams that mimic the throw of the older Laser system.
-
Package Contents: * Left and Right LCI Headlight Units.
-
Pre-installed LED modules (available in standard White or CSL-style Yellow).
-
Plug-and-play wiring harnesses (eliminating the need for complex wire splicing)
-
2. The “CSL-Spec” Laser Upgrade
This package is popular for those who have the pre-LCI Laserlights (with the blue plastic accents inside the housing) and want the aggressive “CSL” front-end aesthetic.
-
Yellow DRL Modules: Replaces the standard white DRL boards with high-output Amber/Yellow LEDs to mimic the M3 CS and M4 CSL.
-
Laser Etched Details: Some premium packages include “Shadowline” internals—blacking out the chrome bits inside the laser housing for a more “sinister” front-end look.
Package Components & Integration
A “Complete Laser Front Package” for the G80/G81 typically bundles lighting with carbon fiber aero to finish the LCI transformation:
| Component | Function |
| LCI Headlight Units | Features the new “Snake Eye” signature or upgraded Laser projectors. |
| CSL Yellow DRLs | Provides the specific racing-yellow hue for the daytime running lights. |
| Carbon CSL Grille | A lightweight, open-mesh grille that complements the new headlight geometry. |
| Lower Air Ducts | Replaces the honeycomb plastic with carbon fiber to match the “Laser” high-tech aesthetic. |
A Note on Coding
If you are retrofitting the LCI “Snake Eye” lights onto a pre-LCI (2021–2024) car, most “packages” now come with pre-coded modules. However, genuine BMW OEM units usually require a remote coding session (via ESYS or BimmerCode) to ensure the adaptive high-beam functions work correctly with your vehicle’s front-facing camera.
