• BMW 1 Series - Xenon headlights on BMW 1 Series 22 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  I'm buying an 05-reg BMW 1 Series with "xenon" headlamps. I suppose this means only the dipped beams are Xenon but the main beams will just be regular halogen bulbs. Is this so? If so, is it worth fitting high-intensity main beam bulbs, too?

  There is a huge premium for using BMW approved parts.  Full set of pads and discs is £779 by main dealer and £423 by independent  using Delphi parts.  Preference is always to use BMW approved parts but this is a very big difference.
