I believe BMW uses Osram German bulbs by default such as these: Osram Bulbs on eBay
Osram makes great bulbs and their Silverstar series such as these are great: Osram Silverstar, but for some reason I don't believe they make them in an h8 which blows. But if you're just looking to match the OEM look, then I'm 99.9% sure it's the first link I posted.

Dude, if you have an Autozone near you, or one of those big stores, they most likely have the Osrams as well, I've had to replace them in mine and found them there for like $12 or so.

Honestly you're not going to see much of a difference even if it's not the same kind.

Osram is OEM, that's what Autozone carries.
