E320 Standard Headlights - How Good?
Hi all. Plan to order a E320 CDI this week and do tourist delivery.
I have one decision yet to be made: to order HID lights or no? My inclination is no, as the HIDs on our '00 BMW 528i are mediocre at best. However, I see CU was very unimpressed with the standard headlights on the E320 they tested recently.
So if you have the standard headlights, please help me out: Would you consider them miserable, fair or superior to other cars you've owned?
Thanks.

Since I couldn't wait for the car (expected 6-8 months for a car with lighting pkg and premium pkg and the color combo) I went with just the halogens. These projectors are okay...wish i could see more of the road but thas what you get with halogens!
I would've definitely got the Lighting Pkg if I wasn't so impatient and if my dad didn't rush the decision. I can't put anything on it as he leased it....

This is my second car with HID and I will never buy another car without them. The active cornering bi-zenons are incredible, especially on high beams.

Has anybody done the HID upgrade themselves? I have the 211 with the regular projector lights and they are horrible. I was thinking about getting the whole HID kit with the ballast and stuff, can anybody recommand a site i can go too? Thanks
