So, the kit also contains the self-leveling and washing systems required
by the EU regulations? And the projector lens - which requires a
different housing? All for $31? Methinks not.

Oue Euro E36s are already equipped with projector optics. Many people
retrofit HID into these without self levelling systems but simply swap back
to halogens for our annual MOT test.
I did this with my own E36 but I modified the existing lamp mounting and
reflectors to take the Osram D2R lamps.

Never said that. Regs for HID lamps will vary from country to country. But
the vehicle I fitted them to had already got self levelling and headlamp
washers which seemed to satisfy the MOT people. In my case the projector
housing took the HID lamp ok and produces a good beam pattern. Checked at
the MOT.
