My Ride: 08 528i TiAg Premium/Cold Weather Pkg, 20% Tint, Technic Harness, JL Audio 12W7, JL HD 750/1 and LOTS of lighting mods!!!!!
I have these on my car and they're slightly brighter than OEM.
If I could go back I might have purchased these.
However, once I do my xenon HL retrofit I'll probably buy these as I intend to install HID angel eyes and they will match good with them.
As for reliability, for the price you really can't go wrong, and a lot of this stuff seems to be the same as the stuff the big shops sell (correct me if i'm wrong). I'm saying that because I have a buddy who works at a stereo shop and sells ebayed products at a mark up. Not that stereo shops and performance shops are the same. But i'm sure they do, to some degree, operate in a similar fashion. For bulbs...ill never pay top dollar. Its not worth it...plus these LEDs work just fine
Good luck!

One option is to get the OEM E90 LED fixtures and make your own harness for them. Its very simple, and you use BMW parts. 
Do a search, there is plenty of info on DIY and part #'s etc:
