Looks great. i really need to get the front end done on mine. Almost 130k miles has peppered it nicely! Seeing this just makes me want to do it even more.

I bought mine in Feb 2019 for the wife. With just over 99,000 miles. It had few stone chips and wear and tear marks. Looks like a brand new car. Never would be good as factory but I am please with it. I just want to update the halos to led but really unsure what bulbs to go for.

I fitted a set in mine (same headlights as your one), they are from Perfekt Lighting aka M3Powerboy on M3Cutters. Very happy with them. The outer ring isn't as bright but it never will be due to the way the rings are lit. They're a pig to fit though, it's not specific to these LED's, they will all be awkward due to there being little room to get your hand in at the rear of the light.

Cheers buddy. You don't happen to have a weblink to the lights you bought?

It is completely pointless buying expensive LED bulbs for the angel eyes as they all pretty much perform the same. The outer ring will never be that bright.

I have tried cheap £20 ebay bulbs to expensive ones, they look the same.

Be aware, that 99% of the bulbs are made in China. The UK sellers have a big mark up on the same product.

I don't, sorry. If you're on Facebook search Perfekt Lighting as I think they have a page on there.

Looks spot on after the respray. I did this to my X5 a number of years ago and had the whole thing redone and just made it looked brand new like you say.

Where did you get it done and how much if you don't mind me asking?

I got it done at body shop in Nottingham called Newmans. I know the owner and this is the 3rd car he has done for me. Cost is all dependent on the size of the car and the amount of work that needs to be done.

Are the bulbs H8?

Lovely car you've got there. I've just bought myself an earlier (56-plate) Le Mans blue E91, also a sport model, but with Style 194 wheels. Love the little tweaks you've made to yours!
