[QUOTE="valkryie, post: 123756, member: 2023"] Hi Wglee, I have not seen a newline edition in person but the Xenon information is obtained from advertisement in major newspaper and article write up some time ago when AB launches the new line edition before the arrival of the E90. Here is the [url=http://www.mmail.com.my/Current_News/MM/Saturday/MailMotor/20051008112402/Article/index_html]link[/url] to one of the write up albeit for the 325 newline edition. This is what I remember. The new line edition for E46 318i 2.0 litre comes with electronic adjustable seat, sliver or chrome (dun remember exactly) triming for the VDO, tachometer, etc, and Xenon Lights. Well maybe AB decide to make more money and take out the xenon. Not sure since I never saw one in real life. Original Xenon does not have that effect . This problem only happens when you change the bulb to a higher Kelvin bulb such as 7000K for that blueish white effect. The lumens is low and that is why you cannot see as well as an original 4300K bulb that comes with a original projector. There is a graph that gives the inverse relationship between kelvin and lumens. I seen it somewhere. I post it if I find it in the future. [/QUOTE]
