Installing: OSRAM XENARC Cool Blue Intense 5000k
In my ongoing efforts to "Tastefully Modify" my chariot and set her apart from the rest... I have decided to address my lights yet again (having already installed Mtec LED v2 angel eyes). These particular bulbs are considered the best aftermarket replacement HID bulb on the planet! (feel free to google) Although they are stock wattage, and have a higher kelvin rating, to the eye they appear brighter and whiter than factory 4300k. Beware of imitations sold on eBay or elsewhere! These are authentic import only made in Germany and thus will set you back @ $130+ each depending on source. I was very fortunate to buy mine from a fellow F01 owner who was kind enough to ship his to me from Europe for a reasonable cost.

One of the main reasons I decided on this mod is after installing the mtec LED (e92lighting) I noticed that the stock 4300k although bright, still have a tinge of yellow. I expect these bulbs will certainly look fantastic and compliment my AE's as well as separate my car at night on the road.

That would be a ultra clean 09'.
I have owned 2 e65's prior. When I decided to pull the trigger for this F01, a few important factors led my decision: Very Specific Color/Combo and Options: I am firm on exactly what I choose to drive and spend money on. Cost: I am not fond of car notes so if and when I have them, they need to be very minimal. In this case, I put down $25k and have a $375 pymt that I may have for 2-3yrs before either paying it off or grabbing another one. I have had great success with pre-owned bimmers and I also have certified mechanic friends to work on em outside of the warranty/dealer. Took me 2 months to locate this specific vehicle from a lease return and I had it shipped from PA to TX. But I've done this for multiple cars. I had actually seriously considered a 10' M Sport. But at @ $10k more I found the options to be actually less than what my car has. I also love me some Fog Lights.

There is a member on another forum that has done a full LED conversion on his pre-LCI F0 7 (cha-ching!) and those lights are just AMAZING! I'm gonna settle for the Mtec LED eyes and these Osram 5000k.

I prefer NOT to remove my front bumper on my own. And that's what having friends who own shops are for.
