My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

This is exactly why I am resisting Xenon. As long as my eyesight is reasonably good, I don't want no stinking $500 light bulb.

if you change the bulb yourself, you can do it for less than 100, and usually the xenons last a long time, unless they are turned on and off frequently.
and the xenons just look way cooler than halogens.

oh, and if you look at the projector in your headlight, around the perimeter, it will say if its a d2s or d1s.
