I'm not too sure what mods are needed to fit those headlights into a pre-lci e60.
However, those Bi-Xenon Adaptive headlights cost a pretty penny. ~$1700 for a new set of those headlights, so you could just have them installed by a shop. The installation will be chump change after shelling out over $1500 for those headlights.

Just from top of my head, given the electrics you have to think of change of cable connectors. You can check that by comparing the sockets, next potential reprogramming of the LM module for Bi-Xenon lights. Also, the VO needs to be coded to include Xenon option and self-levelling.
Also think about the legal implications. Some countries mandate to have a headlight washing system and self-levelling when having Xenon lights, otherwise it will not pass technical checks.

I actually have self-leveling on my current headlights, I dont know why
About headlight washing it itsn't a problem, I have all the parts to get that working
F*** non-xenon lamps
