 BMW CCA | Let There Be (E36) Light
Other BMWs I’ve owned where the lighting seemed fine were an ’87 535i, a ’92 525i, a ’99 M coupe, and a ’98 528i; all of these had stock factory lighting, and while not at HID levels, the light available was adequate.
The headlights used on the U.S. E36 series BMW were designed to meet the specifications of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 at the time the lights were designed.
The problems with the E36/U.S. headlights are compounded as the vehicle ages due to the physical construction of the U.S. headlights; instead of using glass for the front cover, they use a somewhat fragile polycarbonate (plastic) front cover, which is easily pitted and easily scratched.
