Headlight Panel Gap Close Up

[325_bucks]

Hi all

Can anyone take a picture close up of where their headlights meet the body side panel? I had mine replaced under warranty yesterday and I think they might have fit them a bit incorrectly, i.e. there is a gap between the light and the body panel that I can't remember if it was there before. The lights as a whole look fine but this is a little concerning.

Also the strip on the xenon lights that extend from the bonnet shut - can you let me know where yours lines up? Pics would be great too.

Thanks

Spoke to a mate yesterday who bought a used x3 from a BMW dealer. Guess what? They didn't balance the wheels thus a wobble at speed. Are some of these technicians able to tie their shoe laces? It baffles me how some simple stuff can go un noticed! Hope you get the light sorted.

I've sent the service guy a strongly worded email with lots of annotated pictures saying that I don't expect this level of service from BMW. Also they obviously didn't put any seat covered down on my ivory leather that I had just cleaned and they were covered in grease again. took a fair bit of scrubbing to get them back to normal

That's funny my ivory was dotted with grease too from the last dealer visit. I mean really how bloody hard is it to get these simple things right!
