I thought they were the same for both... I even thought they're suppose to be easier to install on non-xenon cars...
that have changed my friend as I firmly believe that that's the fact too :'( so no white AE for me

So you put the Autotoll beside your rearview mirrors? Same here

Don't worry those can be change or passenger wouldn't notice the ding if you drive really fast
Yes, I put my autopass behind my rear vision mirror. Damn the ding looks ugly!

Thanks for the tip!

Just checked with BMW and the center console in aluminum is $1800, takes 2 weeks. For AC Carbon is $18,000 for that piece!! For the whole interior it's around $28,000
Wow The carbon is 10x expensiver than the aluminum....

Of course of course, one being Xenon the other being Halo. The main thing is Xenon needs a seperate power unit and it needs programming while Xenon doesn't, way simple. But I was thinking that the AE should be the same for both system. But apparently is more than that.

So is 150 lbs feather light?
That's not feather light, but I still wouldn't recommend a 2 stroke especially when you don't have much experience in riding a 2 wheeler.

The autotoll looks ugly on the corner that's why I put it beside the rearview, but I am surprise that it fell off as I have a hard time taking it off my last car.

But that freakin piece of alu is damn expensive. Could it be like a M5 pricing thing, let's try to call them to quote the alu for the regular E60 maybe will be cheaper.

You know, it only cost $800 hkd for a "add on" super white AE for E46,36 and X5 at MK!

You are right that's why I am only looking at street bike now, I think the Hornet is a better choice if I want to change into a racing bike sometime in the future as the Hornet have the characteristic of the CBR 250.

But I like the VTR because the frame resemble the Ducati Monster.

You are talking MK right? No way those looks like flourescent tubes instead of HID.
