Xenon lights for all BMW

I strongly belief BMW is doing themselves an injustice by not making Xenon lights standard on all new BMW. They should take some of their advertisement budget and spend it on giving the externals of there vehicle a nice look.

While I am at it, add chrome kidney grills. Those black ones just make the car look cheap.

Agree on the Xenons. Don't agree on the chrome grill.

It almost makes me cringe when I see BMWs without the angel eyes. But I think the chrome grill makes a car look cheap/tacky compared to the black grill.

i completely agree with you. that's what i am wonderful being such a top brand why BMW is not satisfying its customers with Xenon lights.

In South Africa it looks like Audi an VW have caught onto it and most of their vehicles are Xenon'ed and daylight saving.

I totally agree with the HID.

Last week at the team USA demo drive I saw a new 328 with M Performance package. The car looked as good as can be until I walked to the front and saw the halogen headlights!

Really? Halogen headlights on a $54K car?

Daytime running lights is a must.
