My 530e was manufactured after July 19 and it doesn’t have it - I’m in the UK so was part of the EU then - perhaps BMW knew we would be leaving under Brexit so no need to fit in the UK ! I know the car was built after July 19 as it has the updated battery, ID7 Lite and I rec’d updates as it was being manufactured. I didn’t order it until August and with all the options it had to be a build and not a stock car.

I bought a new XF when it was a requirement to have DLR lights but my car didn’t have them. Jaguar said that when the regulations come in they only apply to new models so the LCI would have to have it but pre LCI wouldn’t. Perhaps other countries make the regulation apply for all cars from the date it is issued.
