I assume at least one of your other BMW has stock Xenon?

This will make a great comparision to aftermarket versus stock.

If there is really not that much of a difference I might just go the way you did and buy a kit from these guys.
Cant wait for your night review/pics.

I don't think you can compare it directly with the stock as my E70 and the 330 has projector self levelling hIDs. For one the light dispersion is different and the stocks HIDs are slightly whiter (I think its uses 4300K as against what I ordered w/c is 6000). But for the $ its not bad.

This company carries 4300K for a slightly higher price.

I know its brighter than my neighbor's A4 HIDs (no offense for audi owners-just my opinion)

Only thing is that I haven't owned it long enough to know long term quality. But it comes w/ a 1 year warranty and for the price it shouldn't be too painful in case you need to replace.

Last night when I did a test install I felt it was at least twice brighter, whiter and wider than my stock halogens
