(that I don't have xenons 
) I got the car used and it didn't have xenons, and that's the ONE option I really really wanted... I was thinking of getting these bulbs on ebay, anyone know about them or have them??? Or should I just leave in the factory NON xenons?[snapback]136107[/snapback]
[/quote]If you dont really want to get them on e-bay I suggest giving Silvania SilverStars a Try.

N62? I thought they used the older E39 540 engine (*whats the engine designation for that*)... or did they use the N62? I forget... It was on one of the top gear / 5th gear videos...
I know the E39 M5 was S62... what was the 540 engine?

I believe it's the same engine as in the 545i.

http://www.pistonheads.com/fastcars/morgan.htm <--- 286hp... and the 540 had what? 282 and they upped the power a little during the last production year right? To 286? Dunno.

That's an older Morgan aero 8!
I've got the June 2005 Road & Track right in front of me, the stats for the 05 Morgan Aero 8 are 330 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque, sound familiar?
The stats should also be on their website. (R&T)
Sorry to hijack the thread John007!
Besides Land Rover and Morgan who else steals BMW's V8's?

Ooooo
So I guess the morgan 8 got an upgraded engine like how the 530 did and how the upcomming 550 will.

My Ride: 530iA Silver Grey , black interior. Premium Package, Navigation System, Head-up Display, Radio Satellite, Adaptive Xenon Headlights. AC Schnitzer Front Lip, H&R springs, Rear red reflector, All season Floor mat,
I just test drove the CLS500 last week. The car don't feel like a 80k USD ride to me. No way i'm gonna spend 80k for driving such car. 545i still drives MUCH MUCH better...
