Xenon head lamps for F30 316i
Hi guys
I am going to get a new 316i The issue is it does not come with the xenon head lamps and when i asked the sales agent if i can install the OEM xenon head lamps with the angel eyes he said it can't be done coz of differences in electricity setting I am not fully satisfied with his answer and i saw that they come as an option for the 316i in the catalogue So the question is : is what he said true or he was just avoiding the headache and i shall insist on installing them?

You're looking at $4000 USD just in parts and labor for Xenons. Plus no one has figured out how to re-code the car for Xenons. So, he's pretty much telling you the truth.

hey, there is a bunch of us thinking the same thing.
it most definitely is possible, just no-one has the balls, or the skills to make it happen. Im trying to get an incentive for someone to try it and write a DIY: http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=794033 for additional info http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=741259 http://www.f30post.com/forums/showth...ighlight=xenon http://www.f30post.com/forums/showth...ighlight=xenon http://www.f30post.com/forums/showth...ighlight=xenon etc etc..

The main issue is this:
If the car doesn't come from the factory with xenons, then it's pretty much impossible to get them done (or at the very least very very expensive, so much so you'll probably be better off just getting a 328/335 or whatever is offered in your country with xenons) However, if the options list FOR THAT SPECIFIC MODEL lists xenons as an option, then your dealer should not be giving you any shit about how it's not possible. I would call another dealership in your area, or maybe BMW central for your country to inquire further. It may be that he doesn't have a car in stock with xenons, and is really trying to push you into buying an available one. |
