Karosserie: Question from Sweden (Scheinwerferglas) E38 FL

[Turbovin]

Hello

Hope you can accept me asking this question in english. I can read german pretty well with my school german but my writing is no good.

Well to the point. I have a 2000 Highline carbon 740 and I'm wondering if there is an alternative to the BMW dealers where I can order the headlight lenses (schweinferglas, lichtscheiben, abdeckscheiben) for the facelift headlights?

I know that Bosch used to have the lenses but I mailed Autoteil24 and they said they no longer were available to order.

Also Magneti Marelli had lenses with part number W0133-1664287 but I only find them in the USA and most of them will not ship to Sweden or they do ship but with ridiculously expensive shipping.

I've seen on Ebay.de that there are some lenses from Poland but the seller said that they won't fit my car with the xenon headlights. I thought the BMW original lens is the same between halogen and xenon?


So it seems that my only alternative is to get from my BMW dealer but they are about 220 euro each.


I would really appreciate if anyone could give me a source of new lenses for a more reasonable price.

Feel free to answer me in either english or german.

Vielen Dank!
