My Ride: Jet Black 2006 525i:
Cold Weather Package, HUD, Navigation System, Adaptive Xenon Headlights, Premium Sound System.
I dont know if anyone else has done it yet. But would it be possible to swap out my '06 adaptive xenon headlights for the newer version headlights? (I think 2008-09 and later). I like the way the newer ones look, plus it would be cheaper than buying a whole new car. lol

Straight swap no ... but I did the conversion ... not a full OEM & with a lot of work.
The plug is completely different but you can do conversion which probably cost a lot since your model year may need newer LCM, additional wires then dealer programming ... the labor cost is the culprit.
