Don't answer if you don't have them fitted.

Curious, is all. Never seen a working pair.

Adjust your headlights and don't carry gold bullion in the boot or have a towbar, being the other option!

Replacement hydraulic system was still available from your friendly BMW dealer the last time I heard, for around £80 complete, IIRC.
