The xenon headlamps on my 2004 BMW 330I completely failed. The headlamp rear projector bowl on this model is prone to overheating which leads to the delamination of the projector reflective materials resulting in complete headlamp assembly failure. Replacement assemblies from the dealer list at ~ $600 for each side of the car. This a commonly known issue in the BMW enthusiast community - I have also witnessed the problem firsthand on two other BMW 330is of the same model year. When the issue happened to me, I was unable to drive the car safely at night as the only illumination available was from the parking lights. This is clearly a safety issue and a product defect.
