Drill some some holes on the bottom so the moisture can come out I think the concensus is

Sanded and polished my headlamps, one of which had some nasty scratches on it from a car Collision.

Used the 3m kit again (I last did them 5 years ago) and they've came out great. Not perfect, but a strong 8/10. Considering they had faded/gone hazy, it's a huge difference.

Look good you going to seal them with a uv sealer if so which brand you using

I had some uv sealer in my shed which I used last time, so used it again. Gave them 2 coats this time and allowed the sealant to dry before buffing off. I'll check the name of it when I get home.

I'll try to keep on top of it in future, to prevent them going cloudy again.

That too, drill some big holes to let all the dirty oil out

Highly doubt oil would be coming out from where the expansion tank and headlight washer is located.

lol, I managed to confuse you all, didn't I?
No, just fog light condensation, no oily stain!

Had a stage 1 custom mapped today on the 35i. Seems to pull a little stronger now even though the roads were not in the best condition to really test it with the traction cutting in and out

Yes, I drilled three 3mm holes in the bottom of my foglights last year and they have stayed clear since then. It feels a bit like a bodge, but it costs nothing and it works - that's good enough for me!

Funny to read the post about a 130i - I keep looking at them as I can't help thinking another 3 litre N52 in my daily would be fun!

I had an E46 325ti Compact for 3 years, but replaced it last year with an E91 325i - but it just feels too grown up for my liking. :roll:
