Recently gone, but never forgotten:

Torch Red/Crimson
Manny tranny and every option available for that year

Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss
So, ah, you wan't the rings to look bluish? If that's the case, there are dozens of websites that have rice like that. You can even get them in RED. 
What are you asking?

I just installed the xenon color look for the angel eyes on my LCI headlights (H8 bulb) ....
...wasn't that pleased and took them right off, although from a standpoint of brightness they're not too bad, the color blends in too much with the daylight making them not as visible as stock. From the pics you can see the xenon color just brightens the glass, on a sunny day they are significantly less visible than stock.
The idea behind DRL is to be visible and enhance safety - the stock ones are just great. From a "coolness"
point of view I like the the xenon color, but even the characteristic stock angel eyes are legends on the road.
Looking at the pic: left is stock, right is xenon color

Hello,
Sorry to sound dim but I just got a 535d M Sport (55 plate) on Monday. What do you mean when you say "angel eyes"? Also what exactly do the daytime running lights do? Does it just light up the orange bit above the lights? I know I can check it out but I'v just been sooo busy.
Cheers
Phil
