LEDs have some dark spots in their beam and even though they are brighter I think they light the road less effectively.

Xenons are not that bright as we are talking about light temperature but to me they give more light and have very uniform beam.

Haven't checked xenons on F15 but the only reason I have LED on my X5 is that I could never stand regular light bulb of the indicators that come with xenons on F15. Come on BMW, it is 2014!
Comparing my 2014 535 LED against my 2012 E70 X5, there's really no comparison. Even my wife noticed a huge difference. That's why she said they're a must have on her 2015 X5D we just ordered. When they're coded their even better. Nice smooth broad beam with even coverage. They aren't cut off too low either. Now our X5 has some hotspots in the beam. I tell ya, I pass xenons all day long and my LED are way brighter in the front of my car than theirs. I'll put money on it.
