Z4 Xenon headlight question

[sylvestermax]

I am curious about the Xenon headlights. Are both high and low beams Xenon? I was at a Stateside dealer last week and noticed that the inside headlight bulbs looked identical to me on the Xenon and non-Xenon equipped Z4s. I've ordered mine with Xenon and was just curious as to what I will be getting.

You will be getting xenon light for both low and high beam from the same outside lens. The inside light is a daylight flasher/flash to pass light

Correct
The Xenons take some amount of time (a few seconds) to "heat up" and come on. That doesn't work if you want to flash your lights. Therefore, the conventional bulbs on the inside lens.

Z4s get projector style lowbeam headlights, what you're seeing is the "projector" lense in front of the halogen or xenon bulbs on both.
