I have a couple of things sorry if I violate any forum rules for putting so many questions up and not limiting it to one topic.

I have a BMW 2006 325i (the current style E90).

1) I've been looking at th Halo Rings the BMW's come when they have the xenon package. Can you buy these seperately and get them installed and about how much are they?

2) I dont have the iDrive installed on my car and I was wondering if I could integrate the entire thing on to my car and about how much that would cost.

3) I also don't have the alarm installed. This is a certified pre-owned car and I bet the previous owner had the alarm installed, is there any way I could go around payin 500$ at BMW and do it myself or have someone do it?

Thanks a ton guys I'm glad to be part of Bimmerforums!:buttrock

I hate to point out the obvious, but if you wanted a car with those options, why didn't you buy one that had them? :confused

Realistically you can't add iDrive to a car that doesn't have it. I have an iDrive and non-iDrive car and they are totally different inside, i.e. center console, entire dashboard, etc, etc...

There are aftermarket "angel eyes" lighting kits but they usually don't look as good and violate warranties.

Why would you think a CPO'd car would have had the alarm removed? :confused

what you are wanting to do sounds terribly expensive.

Adding I drive, wow, might as well buy another car! I'm waiting for the deal to go through the bank tomorrow for an 06 330i, no Idrive and in a way I'm glad. I've read a lot of complaints about the complex nature of the Idrive and think simpler=better!
