There seems to be a typo, they forgot to add pick up in US!

Driving lights are pretty low light output
1,080 lumens is very little use on the highway

Based on what we get in the US, I'm almost impressed we get more than one color.

Most reviews have just said 40kgs on these belts but clearly that isn't the case

Strange the warranty is different in Australia to the rest of the world

Has anyone heard a good rationale for why the US market is so limited? I recall the statement made by the IA NA rep saying “because BMW will not certify the B57 for North America, we can not use it”. With all the diesel shenanigans I can understand a little of that, but seriously? I will always try to put myself in the manufacturers shoes to try to understand, but it isn’t entirely logical that one of their biggest potential markets is constrained like this. Even considering the silly chicken tax and diesel scandal; we should have better choices
