Your year brings up a confusing page: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=63_0797
Time to take the cover off the back and see what you have. But if you have the writing like the picture, that should put you to the D1S. Also, if you have no visible lamp in the inner (high beam traditionally) area that would point you to D1S. I believe these will 'wake up' by doing an up/down, then side/side motion.
The older leveling but not side-to-side type should be this one: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=63_0799 I believe these just do an up/down when they wake up.

Confusing... Right?!?
This is what I have:
Inner seems like an h7 bulb and outer is Xenon.

I can see an H7 halogen in the inner high-beam position. This is the non-adaptive Xenon system which should take the D2S with the removable igniter. All Xenon systems had to have self-leveling systems by code IIRC.
This system uses the H7 halogen as 'flash to pass', and if it's anything like my E53s, there's a shutter on the Xenon for high-beams.
