The reason why you can just have the euro lights on an E53 and get it into north america, is because FMVSS (108 or 109...i cant recall) requires that it have amber front and red rear reflectors. I'm Sure you can see why this is a problem as our reflectors are incorporated into the headlamp housing itself. Now, You CAN get around this though by using the euro headlights in conjunction with a fender mounted reflector (like on the newer X models). As long as the reflector is marked with a SAE or DOT number you shouldn't have any issues.
Now your excuse is no longer valid.
