After having them on my E39 and now with the Adaptives on the E60, I can't live without them...

It's both for look and function! No car on the street can beat BMW HID look.

To me they were a must, have only had my 530i a couple of days but love driving it at night with the xenons.

Xenon lights are one of the few "options" that I would fit on any car. If necessary, as an aftermarket kit.

I love them. I spent last week in the UK and was surprised how many E60s have the regular halogen lights. Over here if people have the cash for an E60 they always go for the xenons. Plus if you drive with them on they move people out of the fast lane more quickly

I can't speak to the differnce between standard and HID on the e60, but the difference between my A4 or vDub with halogen and the e60 HID is tremendous. I even have new bulbs on the A4. I hate driving the other cars at night now, and will only go HID from now on. If it was just the "cool" factor, no way I'd be interested. But they are a huge safety advantage. And the adaptive part is nicer to have than you think.

Get them.
