A lot of us got it off e-bay. Thats where I got mine.
They are
PIAA Extreme Force Bulbs
Model: H259
Will fit both HB3 (9005) and
HB4 (9006)
the E60 is HB4.
I guess e-bay sellers dont always have them so you have to watch for them.
P.S. I know you already got the 4150Ks but just for future reference if anyone else reads this topic.

good info,
I was just in Super Autobacs in Stanton and they don't carry any Piaa's over 4000k. I'll try ebay next.

Well I decided to go with the 4150s after seeing that they match the xenons even closer than the 4700s (thanks stream) If anyone is interested you can find the 4150s here: http://www.eautoworks.com/html/ORD-1-1-1-2008.cfm
They are a bit more than others have paid on e-bay, but for know thats the only place I found them.

I got the 4150K bulbs from the same guy that Stream got them, Yoshi Yamashito from Japan. The total cost was about $55 shipped. How much did you get yours Katheikia?Anyway, when I upgraded my lowbeams to 6000K HID bulbs, I decided to swap out the 4150Ks for 6000Ks PIAA GT-X bulbs for my fogs. Unfortunately, they looked kinda yellowish-purple...
Is there such a color combo?? They're definitely not whitish-blue as I hoped they would be. I think the 4150K was actually brighter. I might put those back on and see or do convert the fogs to true HIDs
