Does the misting inside the headlight assembly still occur to you? I was just wondering would the LCI's Headlight Assembly and Tail Lights fit my pre-LCI

All E60's have this feature.

The thing is to keep the ventilation channels to the light clusters clean.

It's actually not a problem even up here in the North.

Meaning that if I see mist inside my headlight assembly, it should be normal? Does it take a long time for it to disappear? I kinda fancy the LCI's new headlights and tail lights. Sadly, the LCI has not arrived my country yet and dealers do not know when will the LCI be coming in.

They will fit physically. A couple of members have already tried putting LCI head and tail light clusters onto their pre-LCI cars, but I think the jury's still out on how well they work. Check out the following threads:

There is a LCI retrofit kit due out later this year, though.

Thanks, MacSid. Cool! Tail lights should fit properly with no error codes. Might have one of those in my list of upgrades later, when the LCI comes into my country (not sure when though). As for the headlights, I've read in the post that the LCI uses H3 bulbs for the angel eyes. What bulbs are used on the pre-LCI for the angel eyes. Has any of you changed your xenon bulbs to a higher K range or still with the standard xenon bulbs?

I've also noticed that the E60's audio system cannot be totally switched off. It can only be put into mute. The next time I start my car, the audio system automatically comes on. A problem which rarely occurs with my audio system is that the left speakers give out a high pitch frequency noise. Anyone of you have experienced it before

Welcome! vandal1x. M Sport is basically the different body stylings from the ordinary BMW cars. They usually come with bigger rims, different front bumpers and side skirts for the exterior. As for the interior, they come with a sports steering and sports seats. I here attach some pictures of an M-Sport and a Non M-Sport for you to compare. Hope they help.

ok so its only for looks,not performance?
thanks for the reply

Yes it's more of the looks. Performance is not changed but Sports models fo come with an M Sport suspension which is similar to the M5's suspension. Does your 535i have the M Sport bodykit? Do post some pitures of your ride.
