Yes it's true! Angel eyes are back today with CIP 18.1 update.
Also, i want to know, so someone please explain:

1) What's the difference between xenon headlights and bi-xenon headlighs?
2) How can i discover if my window glasses are normal or enchanced (safety windows) ? *About used car.
3) On the front bumper, down, near the fog lights, there are two square form holes with a flap in the middle. Are that holes air tunnels for disk brake cooling? Why some E60's have caps there and some others don't have (the hole is open) ?

Bi-Xenons have a little flip mirror inside so the high beams are also Xenons (by flipping the mirror) "just" Xenons usually mean the high beams are still the old Halogen bulbs. and usually also indicate that its not a projection Xenon.

BMWs are projection... a good indication is by looking at it and if the bulb looks like a marble then its projection type

Bi-Xenon's have Xenon full-beam. This is accomplished with a 'swinging' mirror system. Otherwise the full-beam is a different 'normal' bulb and the colour of the light is quite different!

The E60 Bi-Xenon's are amazing - full-beam is like daylight!!!

Protective windows are available since this summer! So you don't have them.

That's the ring around the head lights. Above there is the "eyebrow".
