    Personally, I would go for a euro city lights kit over angel eyes... clean, classy look.

    Here's some decent shots of city lights... http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...ht=city+lights

    Its basically a retrofitting of some euro headlight features- a small lamp installed into an existing hole in the high beam pot that illuminates when parking lights/headlights are on. Clean and understated... gives a nice look, imo. Not aware of any clean aftermarket angel eye retrofits for the z3 headlights.

    I vote angel eyes. I've always like that look (except on the new Camaro... yuk)

    I like the euro lights idea. Anyone know of a DIY floating around somewhere here in cyber space?

    I think the city lights are more period correct, and give a classy look. Most of the angel eye options out there end up looking ricey instead of OEM. If someone could pull off a set that looked like they came OEM It would be great, but I have yet to see one.

    100% agree

    Angel eyes CAN look good, but the most common angel eye I see for Z3s are those knock off lights with FULL circles, while all other BMWs (including STOCK Z3 lights) have a cutoff at the top. If someone made them look like E39 angel eyes in color and shape, then that would look good and period correct since they are from the same era, otherwise, it ALWAYS looks tacky and cheap.

    City lights are classy

    That's why I'm looking for ones specific to the z3m. Semi circles would be nice. Can any of the be trimmed?
