Finally talked someone into ordering them for me  best of all they are cheap enough where I can sell mine and actually break even One was already in the usa and the other side had 300 of them in germany, hopefully its sent without any problems  I will be adding the vertical aim control that I have been wanting to do for awhile, Like Daniel said I could have used my factory ones for this mod, and I know he is right but the deal I'm getting on the euros is to good to pass up on. I will be ordering the motors and switches and such as soon as I have them in my hands Will post pics and info on this project as it goes on |

Are you sure you might not find a more useful control to mount in the trim control panel position? I figured your Z3 would be short of switch positions by now, but maybe that is because I know Ron and some of his projects. 
Feel free to write me with any questions if you go ahead with the project. I will see if I can answer them based on the homoligation of my car for the TÜV.

Let's say I didn't want the leveling adjustment, would the Euro-spec headlight assemblies be a direct plug-n-play replacement for the US-spec ones? Also what's different about the Euro-spec ones, beam pattern?
Thanks.

John, yeah I know you are right, this is a thing where the car has a place for it so I want it

Actually I think the headlights are pretty much the same other then the euro ones are ready to accept a few things that the usa ones are not but can be. im really not sure if beam patern is any different.
I was saving for a hardtop but now am thinking the money would be better used on more smaller mods, Talking with daniel and ron there is not a short supply of mods to do
my car is always garaged and I hardly ever drive in bad or cold weather so as bad as I want a hardtop i would rather have all this other stuff
Like JohnF said, I doubt i will use it at all, but the space in the dash that was made for it will be filled with the correct switch now
anal? ; I think so

I once helped a guy replace the outside temperature display in his 316i coupe with an OBC. He felt the A/C with its digital controls made the temperature display look like it was missing buttons and created visual holes in the center console. Now he is as happy as a clam with a nice, uniform stack of glowing buttons.
We haven't yet figured out what to do about his rear drum brakes (with ABS!). He thinks they add a comical inbalance to the car. I say that because I once suggested he might paint them. His reaction suggested that might not be so helpful.
