As I mentioned a lot more to it ... the Xenon will strobe since Halogen draw 55w and Xenon only 35w the discrepancy will trigger some error.
Then you'll have problem with the parking light since Halogen headlight uses 4 parking bulbs and Xenon only has 2 and they are different watts too so iDrive will compliant of the missing 2.
Then you'll have issue with the hi-beam while the inner/smaller reflector is the same in both Halogen & Xenon in pre-LCI car as a Hi-Beam the "Bi" of the Xenon may not function and will give another error.
Coding is easy if you know what you doing and will also easily damage the module if it's done un-properly.

I just read your edited comment.
Will that seems enough information for me
thank you so much BlaSTiWi
and I am going to work on how the low beam works,
I mean as you stated "The Xenon doesn't work 'cuz it's missing a ground wire in the main plug since halogen didn't need it"
then the only thing I should do is to get the missing wire so I can get it work
the other things shouldn't be important like the adaptive
and re-coding the car shouldn't be hard right?
