Don't think twice. Order them. You most certainly won't be sorry. They look cool, they function flawlessly and most importantly, they'll make your car a safer car to be in.

Hi xtype and welcome,
Donno where you from (please fill in your data), but if you have dark nites overthere
get the Xenons.
No disadvantages!

Hey guys,
just ordered a 525 last week.
I'm however still doubting on the xenon lights ?
Is this really better on
- looks
- visibility
?
Advantages/disadvantages ?
Bi-Xenon (is this something special or do we mean just xenon lights with this ?)
Suggestions are welcome

My Ride: Due May 2006:
530d SE Touring, Automatic, Titanium Grey, beige leather comfort seats, light poplar wood trim, sports steering wheel, graduated tinted windscreen, panoramic sunroof, pro radio, logic 7, 6CD, visibility pack, storage compartment pack, adv aircon
I completely agree with this. The visibility pack is great. Xenons come complete with adaptive system, for the same list price as Xenons on their own (in the UK). The adaptive lights are great. Had them on a test car and expected them to be a bit of a gimick, but when cornering you really notice the difference.
Xenon lights alone illuminate the road much better and cause less strain on the eyes, so are great for long night runs.
Don't regret your decision for a moment !

My Ride: 535ixT � On Order: 2010 E61, Ordered 1/05, Est. Birth 3/09, Est. Delivery 4/09, Carbon Black, Cream Beige Dakota Leather, Steptronic, M-Sport Pkg., Type 135 18
Model Year: 2010
Absolutely get the xenon?s! They are simply marvelous!
Unfortunately for us colonials with adaptive bi-xenons ? the center lights are only used for DRLs and flashing.
Has anyone in the US tried to convert them to come on with the high beams, as in the EU?
