Finally had a break in the rain to take a photo of the V4 vs V5 on my E90. The LUXs are set at 5200K (and appears whiter in real life than in the photo).

You can see that while the inner rings are mostly the same (although discernible in real life), the outer ring is noticeably brighter with the V5 and more closely matches the brightness of the inner ring.

One other thing that I noticed on the V5 is that they come on approximately 0.2s later than the V4 upon ignition.

Overall the V5 is an improvement over the V4.
