M6 Headlight Lens
Long story short have messed up lens no cannot be fixed have tried several shops my only option is to replace with new lens cannot find anywhere.
And no I am not looking to spend 3000$ on headlights brand new and neither 1000$ on used headlights that’s just insane. Looking to buy new lens and have my lens inside painted black. |

Did you pull the headlight up in any of the online part database sites? I don't think BMW sells the lens separately. If I'm right, your least expensive option will probably be to find a used one.
Good luck. And if looking for a used one...then all f12/f13/f06 have the same headlight on whatever side of the facelift you fall.

Think of it this way, you have a $120-140k car, and the per headlight cost is roughly 1% of the total vehicle cost, it's not so bad now huh?

No way in hell, with taxes that’s about 7k goes more than 1% more like 10-12% If it was new model new technology that would be different story, you can find 7 series headlights 2015-2017$ used for 700 bucks mint condition while these old 6 series going for 1000-1200$ with small damages it’s crazy. Not worth it IMO. I think I’m just gonna open them and refinish and much as I can they’re just foggy and those little tiny specs headlights get over time. 130-140k for headlights that age like shit let me not mention my carbon ceramic brakes that squeak like a hot hell, and the crazy 2qt oil consumption I been taking to dealer for two years already. Just disappointed at this point don’t think I’ll get another M I’ll be going with Mercedes next Ive just had so many bad experiences at my dealership also bunch of idiots tell them something is wrong and they’ll always brush it off or look at other stuff and completely forget to fix what was first mentioned. Not to mention my carbon fiber roof I been fighting with the dealer for two years now due to fading mind you I have CPO and I had orig warranty back then. |

It'll be easier if you buy my M6 instead and swap the headlights

Sounds like you don’t take care of the car , the roof should just get polished and then waxed regularly it’s carbon fiber it needs extra care ,the carbon ceramic brakes need to be pressure washed every time you wash the car and they won’t squeal, and your oil problem did you try a different brand oil Liqui Moly is known to help with using oil, Turbo cars do use more oil especially high performance cars ,if you don’t want problems buy a Honda but one thing you with get is boring |

I take care of my car every single maint, the roof I got it like this lucky car sits in garage every single day, brakes don’t squeal for the first 2 days of car wash after that it’s squeal central what I’m suppose to get a car wash every3/4days for brakes not to squeal like my wheels are gonna fall apart. I use liqui moly every 1200-1400 miles 2 quarts. I’m just extremely disappointed with the roof and things just wearing out so quick it’s at dealership right now for all brand new speakers half blown half rattle b&o. Also in for another “oil leak” according to them which is causing oil comp they already fixed a oil leak from trans to engine I forgot what it was. Don’t get me wrong car is great and problem free just annoying to deal with a dealer that I’ve told them SEVERAL times about roof and oil comp and they’re just like that’s normal, bunch of idiots. I’m going to talk to SA again, & CALL BMW NA regarding the roof it’s not horrible but I can already see some spots on it. |

Liqui moly i think 0/30 not sure take it to a very good bmw shop
Check if you have any leaks I’ve had 2 in past two years dealer keeps brushing it off that’s normal which is what frustrates me the most I’ve had about 10 dealership trips in a year |

I had these same kind of issues with my E63 , all frustrating stuff that they can’t seem to fix, I do feel your pain and I can relate to how you feel,for the oil the dealer recommends 0w40 but if you buy Liqui Moly from ECS, FCP EURO,etc. they all recommend 5w40, 0w30 seems so thin, are you in an extremely cold climate?
