I agree. I drove an M3 with the Bi-Z's and a newer benz as well. Both were 
very nice. My wifes Allroad with lows only are decent, but i wish they had 
the high Z's as well. Haven't heard about the Volvos before. Amazing that 
someone can botch new technology so quickly ;-)

I actually think the bixenon projectors are quite nice- the Audi ones work
very well. I guess all bixenons are not created equal, because the Valeo
bixenons in our Volvo are terrible- very slow to switch to high beam, slow
to light, totally useless for flash-to-pass. If I had to drive the car all
the time, I would invest in euro-spec V70R headlamps to gain the dedicated
flash-to-pass halogen high beam, even if I lose the stupid DRL.
