I've acquired a pair of complete Bi-Xenon headlight units, with the intention of swapping them with my poxy Halogen units (bought the car assuming it had Xenons.. :no:). Problem: i cant seem find a garage willing to take the work on  >:( Now, i assumed (i know that assumption is the mother of all Fe...

Just got my renewal from Swift Cover....£630 fully comp.

So i did the confused.com thing and....£337...same cover with AXA.

As a rule, i never blindly accept any insurance renewals without shopping around first.

Looks like a tidy example - apart from the ///M badge of course....

Calling Imy..

Having got myself a pair of Xenon headlight units complete. I'm now having trouble finding a Garage willing to do the upgrade (in Luton).

Did you fit yours, or did a garage do it for you, if so can you tell which garage you used??

any help info greatly appreciated.

 

Welcome along Neptune. Don't take dboy to seriously, we all know he's really missing his X, since trading down to that other Germanic marque... ;) As for thieving scum and their favourite targets. I believe the E70 X5 is the most stolen car in the UK.  :blink: As for fuel economy, you should get hig...

Good job, and they look reasonably bright.....eBay purchase??

Absolutely NO problems with my 09 E70 Pano roof...

Oh, and welcome to the Forum..

No biking ...thats a real shame.

Still, you and your lady were very lucky to survive that crash, and i'm sorry to remind you of it..  

Cheers and all the best.

Hey Finglonga

Are you the same chap that used to frequent the UKGER forum??
Had a nasty car accident if i remember right?

If not, please disregard this post.

Welcome aboard Doc.

good luck with the upgrades.

The LEDs should be easy (assuming you have Xenon headlights), my 09 35d has Halogens, as i made the mistake of assuming Xenons were OEM fit on all E70's... :doh: 

Ah, right oh Richard, thanks for clearing that up.

Cheers

How easy/hard was it to fit the headlight units..??

I'm thinking of doing the same conversion to my 2009 none xenon E70, so any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, and does anyone know whats the difference between Xenon and Bi-Xenon light units??

Cheers

I'm watching this thread with great interest, as i'm thinking of doing the same type of conversion to my 2009 none xenon E70.

Though not necessarily fitting the LCI light units, as i'm thinking the the Bi-Xenon units might be more compatible/easier to fit.

So, very good luck with conversion treelo.

Nice Arse, shame about the face....

I do like the interior though, maybe because it aint too different from the current E70...

What are BMW thinking with that god awful 'Austin Allegro' brown paint....horrid.

No i dont like it. looks too much like the X3.

However, show me one in Alpine white or black though and i might be swayed.
