Actually no. Cars built before Sep 2005 use D2S bulbs and cars built after use D1S so unless Melissa's car was built prior to Sep 2005 as a 2006 model, they may not work. Double check www.realoem.com
I had this issue when I bought eurospec headlights for my 2004 545.

Some good news, I don't need to go to the dealer. I just got back from Umnitza, Matt installed Genesis angel eye bulbs into my car and it got rid of my light error. The only error I have is the adaptive light which I can live with. Everything else went smoothly, all my lights are working.
Tony the install labor will cost $250, it's about 3 hours of labor

Yah john told me it was only like 1hr of programming at most.
It's just programming. I wanna find a place that will do the install of swapping the wires to the headlight connectors and then reprogram after install.
