Thank you for the warning about the LEDs. I hate it every time someone blinds me with obviously 'upgraded' lights but I was not aware of what they were exactly. I think I will try the Osram bulbs..
We were given the F25 X3 option when were looking at E83s and we took it after a quick research. It had everything we wanted (I was not so sure about N20 engine but I like it more and more everyday I drive it). Honestly I never thought it would come with halogens. I also did not like the red rear indicator lights (I prefer orange) but apparently that is only a choice in Europe (and a replacement is around $600).
Cheers,
