WHY! Does the US have stupid laws where you *HAVE* to have orange things in your headlamps. The E90 looks so spoiled with the orange stuff. It looked so amazing without em!

I mean the M3 doesn't have em (it's all clear), so why do the other models have to have them??

The M3 does have them if u look on the current M3 it has reflectors built into the bumper, Very ugly. I hate that dumb law. EVERY car in the US has front side reflectors, they look terrible.

It's the requirement in US to have front amber and rear red on the side. If you notice every single car in US, you'll it's that way.

sure we envy your prices.. I envy european prices too. that's why i dont have my own car here, it's a company car.

HK prices:

545i - Hk$822,000 / 7.8 = US$105384

530i - HK$679000 = US$87051

why? because of the taxes


the first $150,000 of taxable value - 35%
on the next $150,000 - 65%
on the next $200,000 - 85%
on the remainder - 100%

i would trade our prices for ugly amber reflectors / lights anyday.

it's pretty fun that swedes want those orange lights. I've seen a lot of people changing their euro lights to us instead.

But why isn't it enough with the E60's orange LEDs?
