Xenon headlights standard?

Will the 135i comes standard with Xenon? I have Xenon on my 330i now, and I can't go away from that. They are too good. I've looked for info on it, but if it's out there I've missed it.

Thanks.

Xenons with adaptive cornering technology are standard on the 135i and optional on the 128i.

Not sure if they're bi-xenons though. Anyone know if BMW uses a physical cutoff that rotates up and down for dipped vs. high beams? Or do they just use a halogen high beam?

They are bi-xenons on my car. So I would assume they are here as well.

Thanks for the quick response guys.

Good to hear. I'm a big fan of Bixenons for politely requesting people people keep right unless passing. :wink:

Well the "inner" lights are halogen that do the "flash to pass" and also serve as day time running lights if that feature is enabled on your car.

Xenon's come on if you push the stalk forward, not back.

Alot of people don't know it's illegal to drive in the left lane. It's for passing, if your not passing any cars you cannot be in the left lane.

Typical Americans are extremely ignorant of highway driving rules and etiquette.

Yes, politely. In other countries, besides the US, people learn that getting flashed (with lights :biggrin on the highway is a polite, courteous way to ask you to move over because faster traffic is closing on you.

People in the US have no Fing clue for the most part.

First of all, rules concerning the left lane vary by state.

Second, before trashing the "ignorance" of "typical Americans," you might want to work on your own spelling and grammar (e.g., using "alot" and "your" when you mean "you're").

you know, I wish I had a $ for every time some old geezer who at 88 yrs old just renewed his driver's license by mail with FL DMV for 10 years, and insists on driving in the left lane on I95,45 mph with the left turn signal on - I'd be comfortably retired.....

I'm not ignorant of my grammatical errors, I choose not to worry about them. You frame of mind when posting here is different than mine, typically I am playing Battlefeild 2142 and ALT-Tab'ing to start, or finish a post between game maps.

The speed of my posts is what matter most to me...!

You really hurt my feelings, mate. I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep now.

It's still not my fault that you're too stupid to read the press release, the brochure, the ordering guide, or BMW's own website.

Actually, that post was tongue-in-cheek.

I personally don't care if I'm being polite or not if someone is sitting in the left lane and not moving over once they're finished overtaking. I will happily, and impolitely blind them with my Bixenons until they GTFO of the way.
