Same with LED strips under or around the headlights. The first time i saw them was on a Audi around 2009. A few years later evey car manufacturer followed suit. Im not a BMW fanatic, but their angle eyes back in the day looked better IMO. I wish they kept it going.

DRLs (Daytime Running Lamps) we're mandated around that time, which is why cars have LED strips around the main lamps

Not a design thing but something they were forced to include

While the new rule might be coincidence, these little strips were not required. Many vehicles ran their standard headlights at a low setting during the day, like my Ford Ranger.
