Not applicable to the F10 and E34)8) Local specs E39 (and most import specs) didn't come with rain sensing wipers/auto headlight and headlamp wash system.All are optional items that I know for the UK specs ones.9) Broken headlight level adjuster inside the headlights itself10) No wing-mirror LED-type indicator or the lack off this feature11) Feel free to add guys...:rock: [/QUOTE]
