Just been down to have a look....

Mine aren't that bad, but its one of those things that annoys me (along with plenty of other little bits on the car!)... so think I will get some ordered in anyway.

To remove:

Take screw out to remove side repeater.
There is a clip on the side of the headlight.
3 clips on top
1 on the other side
2 clips either side of the piece of trim underneath the light, pull out trim a couple of inches
3 clips underneath the light
Then it will just pull off!

A bit fiddly at first, but once you've done it once the other will be easy.

Replaced these yesterday with the new ones I ordered... I thought they looked much better...then met up with some mates for a drive and 2 of them both commented on and asked what I'd done to my headlights

Allegedly these are the same part:

948BM0090HEADLAMP LENS-LH BOSCH
948BM0100HEADLAMP LENS-RH BOSCH

From http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ But don't hold me to that.

Or you can get them from BMMiniparts.com but they don't actually list them... you have to give them the last 7 digits of the BMW part numbers and request a quote, they are a few quid cheaper than the BMW dealer.

Hope this helps matey, I'll dig out the part numbers if you need em.
