Headlights OEM BMW or Bosch
I hit a deer with an X5 and except for a small piece of missing trim, you couldn't even tell from 10ft away and it was over $10k. One headlight was replaced because the lower mounting tabs on it were broken.
Pros: repaired like new
Cons: expensive repair
Vehicle:
BMW X5
I like it both ways. The twins give it a more sporting/race vibe, and the chrome singles are classic and charming. Good thing it is an interchangeable part!
Pros: sporting/race vibe
Cons: classic and charming
Looks way better imo
Pros: looks way better

Headlights look good, it will be a classy front end.
Rear/ look a bit commical. Anime character angry squint tail lights. Even with a light bar, it wouldnt look much better.
Pros: classy front end
Cons: comical rear lights
Vehicle:
BMW M2
I think they're shit. The tabs started snapping off a light as it was sitting on my kitchen table.
Cons: tabs started snapping
My BMW has had very few engine issues…what it has had is a lot of weird and very expensive high tech issues…for example one of the day time running lights went bad because moisture got into the circuit board…this requires a new headlight fixture which was $4k…I just don’t use the DRLs anymore…expect these types of problems to slowly kill your soul
Pros: few engine issues
Cons: expensive high tech issues
Vehicle:
BMW
Bad quality plastic. Mine are same on the inside, it looks like a million tiny cracks. I'd say it's due to age and wear.
Pros: due to age and wear
Cons: bad quality plastic

I looked at a BMW 7-series with them years back. I spotted tons of issues with it (dynamic headlights fault was one that stuck out in my memory) but they just brushed them off as "They all do that. It's just because it's not been driven for a while".
Cons: dynamic headlights fault
Vehicle:
BMW
Hey, something similar happened to me with my BMW bike. I only had a broken front headlight and indicator, but they added extra things and did some extra damage to the silencer, rear taillight, and added tank scratches.
Pros: claim approved
Cons: extra damage added
