From experience with my old car, I'd say don't get any of them. Most of them look nothing like xenon, and the ones that have the color don't have any output. At least ones that run the same wattage.

If you get ones that are high wattage and do the appropriate mods so that your wires don't burn, then maybe you'll have something nearby.

But I wouldn't recommend any of them. It annoyed me when I used to do it on my old car and they'd burn out after not really that long, and they didn't even give me good results.

The European Osram silverstars are very good, and Osram is a BMW OEM

The US Sylvania (Osram) Silverstars wernt quite as good

Dont know how close to the european ones the new Sylvania Silverstar ULTRA are
