^ ask 1er owners or pre lci 3er owners what they would prefer...

My e46 was simple, pop out the corner, pop in an (oem) clear one, but since most vehicles have one-piece headlights these days, its not that simple. Swapping the entire headlight assembly (with HID's) can be quite costly...

I heated my RSX-S headlights up and pulled them apart to remove the reflectors, but again, if someone messes up that could be costly and I don't think owners of high-end vehicle like the idea of baking their headlights in the oven...

I don't own an m3 (almost leased one at Christmas 2008 though) but I would imagine I would have preferred to replace the amber lens with a quality aftermarket clear unit, or have a body shop paint the amber reflector to help it fade away.

Different strokes for different folks...
