The e90 only comes with Angel Eyes if you order it with the Xenon lights option. I believe in the US, the Xenon comes as a standard hence the Angel Eyes.

I wonder..why no other car manufacturers (including the asian) never put those on their cars? any though?

I think it is a matter of time before other manufacturers put Angel Eyes on their cars. See VW, Honda, Toyota is starting to put turn signals on the side mirrors, which was "invented" by Mercedes when they brought out the W220 S-Class in 1998.

Hella and in-pro is starting to sell Angel Eyes retrofit kits for other makes, like VW Golf.

Ya but thats only because they can claim it as a "safety" issue... What can they claim with the Angel Eyes? NOTHING! Nothing but copy cat!

Notice BMW never put the side turn signals on the mirrors hehehe BMW always had them on the side... since when? 1993? 1994? on the side black molding?

The side indicators on mirrors are found first on MB and that's why you might never see it on a BMW.

Forget the lame turn signals on mirrors - I LOVE the blue pathway lights under our mirrors when you lock/unlock the car!

(Are those xenon?)

Are they std in the US? In the UK we have to pay extra for the extended lights package.

My wife's Ford Mondeo has these "puddle lights". I think they are actually of limited use. When you lock/unlock the car the cabin lights come on, so there's quite a lot of light around already. These lights only help if you have parked in a smallish puddle hiding in the shadows and you can't see it. I wouldn't pay extra just for these. I guess the extended lights package adds other things as well.

Ever thought how annoying it is that when BMW bring out a new model the specification resets to a poor base? Everything that was standard on the old model becomes an option on the new. I know everyone maker does it, and it makes sense for them to keep the model fresh, but really - you end up with Fords coming better equipped than BMWs. Can't be right can it?

If you want the extra equipment and don't want to buy it as options, then we could just get a Lexus and it's the end of the story. But I don't feel like driving a boat around town so there we go.
