I love my car don't get me wrong but I'm just sooo upset I don't have the bi-xenons ... I got the car used and it didn't have that option ... it bums me out all the time, just for the fact that the BMW's lights just look so cool even when they are off.. I mean my last 2 cars had them and it wasn't a big deal they look just like normal lights but I love that whole big lens thing going... That is the one thing that I would change...
Funny - we have same colour, same rims, we both switched to chrome grilles and I also bought my car used... except I'm 10k miles away :-). Oh - and I also switched the plate surrounds to my dealer's plates. "Bawaria Motors" in silver looks better than Daimler Chrysler Leasing in green...

Our colour rocks. You really need to see it live to appreciate it. One would never order it by just looking at the colour samples but in the flesh it's awesome going from grey to plum to cappucino depending on ambient lighting. IMHO it also really needs the chrome highlights to set it off.
Just today I was having a look at my client's car park and all the cars were silver, titanium and grey metallics. Amethyst grey is one of a kind

My Ride: Jet Black 545i
Hehe I'm sorry but I have to be honest about this one. It looks kind of , which is probably why you don't see many E60s with this color.
Not to mention it's probably not a good color for resale value.
But in the end, it's what you like that matters most.

Isn't it plug and play? I understand the ballasts for the xenons are in the light units so there isn't a lot of messing around. Anyone done it?

Anyone know about this or where in Boston I could have it done and about how much it would cost?
