Xenon Blacklines are the ones that have the part code end with a 2 and is the expensive model.
they are the ones everyone is buying.

Everyone with halogen was afraid that its not PnP (because halogen e87/e81 hatchbacks need a module). However, this could be true for 2012 128i that come with halogen version regular red LCI( all plastic no cool lights).

In any case, all evidence suggests that these are PnP for all e82/e88 and if you like regular LCI but have the pre-2011/2 lights, then these are a more dramatic change which makes the car appear new.
