I have an E34 from one of those "off years" that did not get ellipsoids --
'92 in my case.  While I haven't investigated it, my assumption is that the
E-Code lamps will swap into my car fairly easily.  (Someone please let
me know if this is not true -- I'm contemplating this upgrade!)

My point in bringing this up is that there might be a more direct way
to make this swap from ellipsoid to E-Code -- standard issue BMW
parts from non-ellipsoid models.  It could end up more expensive
than you are proposing for new parts from a dealer, but probably
not from a junk yard.
