    I have had my 2004 E46 325xi for a year and a few days as of today. The one I purchased was equipped with the AL HID Xenon Headlights and unfortunately for me has caused me nothing but problems. The current problem however may turn out to be the most expensive. About 2 weeks ago my driver side...

    Hello E46 fans, I recently bought a 2003 325i after upgrading from a 1990 Honda Civic Hatch back. This is my first experience with HID headlights.

    I installed yellow 3000k fogs in my 1999 328i, and since then, about 50% of the time, when i start the car, and turn the fogs on, the gauges all fall completely, and it buzzes, and then returns to normal. Also, the warning beeping sound won't stop. Whenever this happens, I have to turn the car...
