Thank you. Let me see first if OE are Osram. If windscreen wipers are anything to go by, OE are better.

OE is not Osram night breaker as that didn’t exist when the E89 was born..

I fitted Philips xtremes, were way better than original bulbs and better light pattern.
Was a toss between these and Osram, reviews i saw went Philips.
