Definitely beats having a hole in your bumper you have to fill with some cheap after market part. Ask any M3 owner.

There is a difference. The M3 doesn't have a flush mounted reflector like non-M 3 series, 5, 7, X5, Z4. Those don't look that good when changed out with a painted reflector IMO.
I bought a set of Graphite painted reflectors for my E92 and they really weren't that noticeable.
Opening up the headlights and removing the reflector would be very difficult as I don't think you could ever seal up the headlights the same.
As far as replacing the headlights with Euro spec. Someone on the 1 series board did it and it was major work. Getting them was difficult, as no US dealer is going to order them for you. He had to get them from someone in EU and they are very expensive and a lot of labor went in to switching them out.
