Hey,

I'm a little confused to whether or not my 2007 530i is Pre-LCI or LCI. I keep reading that LCI is 2008 onwards but it appears that my car sports all the LCI features. The production date is 1st April 2007 and it is the 200kW version. It has the silver gear shift (auto), and all the features that appears on the right side of the picture:


If it is LCI, then why do people say only 2008 onwards is LCI?

You have an Lci they went into production March 2007. and have the features you have shown in the right of your pictures

Correct, LCI E60`s started production in the UK and Europe march 2007, the US didnt get the LCI until 2008 hence the confusion.


I believe Australian E60`s are the same spec as European models.

If your still unsure PM me your VIN no. and I can confirm it for you via the ETK (parts cat.)

Ahh I see. I was getting pretty confused why I kept seeing LCI is post 2008 but I guess this clears it up. Yep the Australian E60's are indeed the same spec as the European models. Do you happen to know what I can buy to make my angel eyes white? I've been having a bit of trouble trying to identify the connection and globe required:

The kind of AE in you car is based on the kind of headlight you have, check & specify if you have Xenon or Halogen headlight ... even better try to post a pic of your headlight as the LCI halogen headlight uses a projector that look like a Xenon and for some it easily to get mix up w/ real Xenon.

Mine are definitely halogen headlights, it does not have Bi-Xenons installed, the stock globes for all the lights are yellowish and I just replaced most of them with Philips BlueVision bulbs (whitest light which are roadlegal in Australia, HID kits are not allowed). I'm looking for a replacement that will match the Philips BlueVision (so like what, 4000k?)
