Do to it? Drive it and love it!!! I am even at the point, where I try and create errands. I feel 16 again....I want to just drive!! While I loved my 2010 750i, there was not much driving pleasure!

How do you like the GP's when you turn on your headlights? Perhaps it doesn't happen with the 7500, but there were a few threads with the 8500 that seemed to dim and turn yellow when the headlights were on.

Also, where did you purchase the 7500?
Thanks!

When the headlights are on, there is still no yellow. Of course, since the Xenon lights are so much brighter and more powerful, the Angel Eye rings are not as noticeable when the Xenon lights are on, but that happens too with the factory LED (LCI 3er and new 5er).

For our M6 and my 750, we've bought many, many sets from the same guy on eBay. He's in CA, and he's never charged shipping. I think his eBay ID is justpal.

Why b/c they burn out so quickly? j/k From your experience, how long do they typically last?

For some reason that lasted about 2500/3000 miles per bulb in the 750. In the M6, they last about 5000 miles. But for like $16 a pair...I'm not complaining. The colour is a super, bright white. No blue/purple and No yellow!



It takes about 10 mins total, to replace both bulbs. Each time, it gets quicker...experience. On the 750, you could have Frankenstein sized hands, and still change the bulbs easily. The E70...the smaller the hands the better!!
