No angel eyes on E60 in UK?
I know this should be in the 5post district, but i duno those 5er guys and much more familiar with u E9X guys, so i decided to ask this question here.
One of my kindergarden friends, she lives in UK and recently she just bought a 120d. Then we talked about the bimmers n stuff, and then she told me that the UK 5 series come with NO angel eyes for standard option. I asked her "Do you mean xenon light?", and she kept insisting it's angel eyes. I tried to search it up on google, but couldn't find the result, becoz usually people post their pimpin' 5er out rather than a 5er with no angel eyes. Can people here help me clarify it please? If you got pictures that would be even nicer. Man....still hard to believe there is no angel eyes on a 5 series bimmer........

As far as i know bmw cars in europe which are porduced before 08 all comes standard with halogen and that means that they have no angel eyes!
If the person wants angel eyes he should have purchased xenon lights when he bought the car which costs a bit more. Halogen Headlights = No angel Eyes Xenon Headlights = Angel eyes The new LCI bmw's now have angel eyes on both halogen and Xenon cars! I think they call it corona rings on the halogen cars. |

Yeah, the majority of all European bimmers have never had xenons as standard, so no angel eyes or corona rings would be fitted. Living in the US it's weird when I visit home to see even new 7ers with halogens!

My 06 520d was sold with 'halogen' lights but does have rings incorperated in the units - and this seems pretty standard looking about, unless they meant xenons not halogen!
