Yes indeed it looks very nice. Where did you purchase the projectors from, a local BMW dealer? Could I use my current HID bulbs and ballasts with the projectors? Thanks

Actually, the cost may differe depending on what kind of setup you want. . There are different stages ranging from stage 1 to stage 6 which can run you around $1000 because i believe they you ECODE spec instead of DOT spec projectors. The ECODE will be a LOT brighter and it also has a light cut off. .

Congratulations. That looks great. Any details you can elaborate on would be very helpful, part numbers, ...
I've been wanting to upgrade to HIDs too but never really liked the fact that there is still no projector in our lamps even with the HID bulb/ballast. I'd definitely be willing to pay a bit more for this.
Another for my to do list. Thanks for the pioneering effort to pave the way for the rest of us modders.

Hey everyone, thanks for all the compliments. .
ImportFAN, i didn't use the 3 series housing, i just used it's trim (the chrome circular part around the projector it self). . As for putting the parts together, we used a product called J.B. Weld. .
mcgong, I didn't buy anything from the dealership. The $700 i paid was for everything that was required for this retrofit. Projectors, HID bulbs, Ballasts, painted housing, clear turn signal, labor, . .etc. .
Neo, yeah i was considering on getting a HID kit and just slapping it onto my car but i wanted the projector look and the flickering of colors. I originally wanted to retrofit some Q45 lights but just went with the 5-series. .
