Id check out ebay thats a good start

try searching for "retrofit xenon" :thumbup:

I bought a set of xenons from Bekkers. There were identical except they didn't self-level. They cost about $1,000 back in 2001

Ebay is your best bet. You'll need to be patient and persistent if you want a good deal. If you're lucky, you can get a set for around $500.

These guys quoted me $750 for a set of bi-xenons: http://virtualjunkyard.us. You'll also see them on ebay.

I was told by my dealership that my 2004 325xiT was stuck with halogens as retrofitted xenons would have logical fuse and power issues with the electricity supplied by a car desinged for halogens...

And they would be right. Except they didn't mention that the car's internal control module can be re-programmed to recognize the lower current draw of the xenon lights and not trigger the fault.

I had Xenons retrofitted to my 2001 325 Cic. I bought from Umnitza. A few minor problems initially, but Umnitza stood behind the product and it's all good now.

Besides the Xenons, I went for the double halos, matching foglights, the whole nine yards. It costed a lot, but much less than the $2+ that they charge at the dealership.
You would need around $600, plus $100 for optional angeleyes.

I've done it; go here: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46813

As Hack said, you'll need to have the dealership code/reprogram the LCM (light module) so they work properly. The issue isn't the reduced current draw, it's resistance - the xenons have no filament, so they appear to the LCM as a burned out bulb. The LCM reduces voltage and the ballast can't ignite - thats why they flicker.

I'm not a fan of the add-on kits, but to each his own.

thsoe xenons don't look like the xenons I have on my car (which is stock). Not sure how to explain it, it probably doesn't show up well in pictures.

His is a pre-facelift e46...? :angel:
