I was wondering if the Projector beam lens headlights are standard for all 5 series starting 2006?
Which means, even without the xenon light option, you still get projector lens for your headlights?

Sorry for the newbie question - What exactally are the "Projector Lenses"? And what do they ultimately achieve?
Thx

Projector Lens is referring to this circular shaped lens inside the headlight housing.
They ultimately achieve more focused beam and better looks, but those are just my opinions.

I can confirm that pre-LCI non-xenon cars have no lenses for the headlights (just an old-fashioned reflector) and all LCI cars do have projector beam lights. Xenon and non-xenon.
