Ehh confused do all BMW's have HID's?

mr.almeida · 12-08-2006, 12:02 AM

I'm assuming that they would, being that it's standard on 350Z's and G35's now. Sorry for the noob question, but I'm new to the European vehicle scene.

nope, not standard on all vehicles, the 325i for instance come standard with halogen headlights, HID's are optional.

a look at BMWUSA would answer your question, because it's dependent on your location, for example, in Canada, we have E90 323i, 328i and 335i now, and HIDs are standard on the 328i and 335i, but not 323i

IMO all cars that cost over 30k should come with xenons and leather standard...

what if you don't want to pay for those items?

giving the consumer a choice is a better way.

+1, I would've liked the choice of cloth seats for the E90

LOL that is how BMW has always been. Thats how they make $$.

Take the Nissan Sentra. $12k car. It has comfort access and bluetooth features standard. Where if you want CA you have to buy the 335. You cant even pay extra for it on the 328.

Not true, Comfort Access is an option on 328i also.

Here in Europe almost everything is an option for the BMW
