Dont think the BMW E32 7 series had xenons...i believe the first was the 750iL(E38) had them standard,was an option on the E39..did not become an option on the W140 S class till late in its life...but i could be wrong!

E32 750s certainly had xenons available later in life, not sure if they were standard or not.

A bit for thread resurection, but it looks like the best place for it.

I was looking for something a bit different for sitting in traffic on the M6.

I found an LS400, a few weeks ago. Silver, 159K, grey leather, heated seats, electric everything and paid £700.

The only issue is that the upper ball joints needed replacing, which means a new wishbone. Alas, it is one of those, 'they all do that, sir', items.

Anyhow in the UK they are £350 each. I managed to get then from the US for £130 + £30 duty for the PAIR, from these blokes.

The US has a much better parts market for Lexus parts and so long as the shipping rates are not too bad I would forget Lexus UK. Yes they do ned replacing and the whole part is not cheap!!!

Aftermarket arms are available in the UK... around £60 a side IIRC.
