Is the lens made of glass? This lens is NLA. The current replacement is plastic.
Have you checked with the local BMW dealer? I believe you'll need to replace the entire headlight assembly. _________________

Thanks for quick response.
I just purchased it new and it's made of glass! It comes with a rubber gasket. |
