E46 Driver Information

VERSION IDENTIFICATION & SYSTEM SUMMARIES

Version identification is specific to vehicle model with the exception of the E38.

There are two E38 Xenon systems. The early sys-

tem identified as Generation 2.1 and equipped on

95-98 model year 750iL vehicles. The headlight

design of this version has a flat bottom edge.

The Generation 3 system has been introduced on

1999 model year E38 vehicles. This system can be

visually identified by the rounded bottom edge of

the headlight assembly.

LWR: All 1999 model year systems are also equipped with LWR (Headlight Beam Throw

Control). This system automatically adjusts the vertical position of the headlight beams to

compensate for vehicle loads ensuring optimum beam throw. LWR components and func-

tion is described further on in this section.

Headlight Replacement Parts: In previous model years, individual replacement parts

were not available for headlight assemblies. This was due to the Federal Motor Vehicle

Safety Standards (FMVSS) relating to pitting or corrosion of the reflector components in

non-sealed beam light assemblies.

BMW has submitted corrosion test data for headlight replacement components which have

passed the FMVSS providing availability of headlight assembly spare parts. The approval

has been given for all Bosch headlight assemblies (including halogen systems).
