Just comparing stock E90 AE's brightness to stock 5 series AE's. 5 series AE's seem much brighter than my e90.

Are you talking about F10 5 series? If so then they use LED rings which are far brighter than E90 AEs. Is your car LCI or pre-LCI too?

Sorry. I meant the former 5 series. 2006-2010. I have a pre-LCI.

The E60 5er LCI models had DRL AE function whereas the prelci E60 had AEs but no DRL function. If your car is prelci and has AEs i assume you have bixenon lights. Your angel eyes are not as bright. None of them are. Only LCI E90s with xenons would be the same/similar brightness to the E60 lights you are referring to. If you have pics then it would be easier to explain your situation.
