“For the 2013 Bmw 328XI model halogen lights on the low or high beam are absolute of no use. Lighting on this car is very poor, on a normal night it is hard to see the curves and you cannot drive more than 30 MPH if want to see what's coming up next or see the signboards ahead. It was raining yesterday in dallas and driving this 2013 Bmw, I could barely see the road as the halogen lights are very dim and not even appropriate on a car. Golf carts seem to have better lighting than this model. I am very positive that Bmw will defend their lights. …”
