hmmmm, alright, i understand where you're coming from. Then for the MARS DRL, does that have actual head lights along with it or is it just a housing and the half hexagonal angel eyes?

The whole thing is BS. Xenons should have been standard with LED as the option.
Oh BMW, such a love-hate relationship.

That's why I ordered my car with xenons. It would kill me to have a premium brand and not have xenon |

Or BMW could include some things that you would expect on a premium car.

I 've looked into this. In order to do the proper conversion it is a major hassle. It is not impossible but major job. There are two types HID light systems, one with auto-leveling and without. The parts will cost you over well $2500 (headlamp, bulbs, igniter, ballast, auto leveling motor, etc.) before you install them or have someone else install them for you . The install doesn't end there. You also have to rewire the lighting panel ( found in the passenger kick panel area) and have the car reprogrammed too. To me it is just too much hassle and very expensive. I have raised the headlights a bit and it helps.
Have you looked into BMW high performance light bulbs for non-HID cars ? it costs like $60. http://www.shopbmwusa.com/PRODUCT/39...CE-LIGHT-BULBS

No, the 316 is entry level. The 328 is above mid-spec.

Does anyone have a link for how to adjust the beam height? Btw OP, I replaced the factory bulbs with silverstar ultra zxe bulbs and it helped with brightness. Not drastically but it's better.
