For those following this thread and planning to use halogen bulbs, by all means follow the link to buy the copy oem fittings but be aware that actual 2nd hand bmw bi-xenon lights use d2s socketed HID bulbs and will not take H7 halogens.

I am looking into fitting some H1 halogens into 2nd hand bmw fittings and will report back if I can fix H1 bulbs into the (d2s) sockets - the penetration depth of the bright bit in a H1 halogen looks to be within a mm or so of the same in the d2s spec so its "just" a matter of securing the bulbs in the d2s holder.
