328i help

I am going to buy a 2011 328i sedan (base) in a week or two. My question is, does it has angel eyes? I test drive one, but when I look at the headlight, I see the rings but barely glowing yellow. Also, this will be my first bmw, so excited!

Well, they're not like the E92 ones that are bluish/LED. E90 still has yellow rings. Some LUX H8 might give them the look you want though.

Careful with the 328 sedan as the xenon headlights are optional. They are a must.

To answer your question. Yest it does have angel eyes. This car has halogen lights though, which have smaller angel ayes. The Xenon lights have bigger angel eyes.

Ok, so is it possible to just have angel eyes as your DRL? Also, is the Lux H8 V3 any good?

If you press the fog lights button with DRL selected the foglights will turn on as well as the angel eyes.

If you are seriously buying a bimmer because of the lights go get an Audi with that illumination bullcrap they are advertising.

Related question. How long can we expect the Xenons to last on a recent e9x, and how much would they cost to replace if they ever fizzled out outside of warranty?

Lets just say you want to take it too a bmw specialist shop instead of a dealer. I'm dreading the day mine fail. I may have the euro headlights put in if there are any left when doomsday arrives.
