Angel Eye swap?

Does anyone know if the bulb from the 2011 335 coupe will swap with the 2011 335 sedan? Or the 5 series bulb? They look a ton better than my current yellow angel eye..

Any help appreciated.

No, you won't be able to swap. Get a set of LUX H8. Those are probably your best option.

Can you explain why not? I too wanted to swap the E92 LCI angel eye bulbs into my '07 E92. Are they both H8?

No, they are not both H8. The two cars have completely different headlights, each with its own unique angel eye setup. For the pre-LCI, you have 1 H8 bulb lighting up 2 rings. For the LCI, you have 2 LED's in each headlight, each lighting up an individual ring. Swapping angel eyes between the two are not possible. Like Kensta335 said, lux H8 is the best option for pre-LCI E92s in terms of brightness.

Check out my pictures of the lux H8 here:
