just wonder what makes the Depo so expensive.
for lighting, I feel like OEM is better.

There are DEPO lights on ebay atm for $685. It says the location is in Melbourne.

Not too bad for the price considering you get the wiring harness as well which is usually about 50 bucks.The ones in the for sale section atm would be a good buy.

There's a review of the DEPO lights in the M3 forum that has a daytime comparison with the OEM lights. For replica lights they look pretty good. From reading the reviews, there doesnt seem to be any major quality issues either....yet...

Why not pay $100 more for genuine OEM ones from BMR Autowerkes?

Ever had that feeling of frustration because you want to do heaps of mods but only have limited funds
