WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW M3, 2005 BMW M3, 2004 BMW M3, 2003 BMW M3, and 2002 BMW M3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When crossing borders into countries where they drive on the other side of the road from that where the car was registered, it is essential to cover the asymmetrical wedge in the low beam headlight. The following illustrations show the covered areas in question.
NOTE:
Any adhesive residue may only be removed with the supplied cleaning cloth.

NOTE:
On cars fitted with xenon lights, it is not necessary to tape off the lights as they have their own adjustment facility; refer to the Owner's Manual.
