What's up!! I decided to go HID's and am going to get them from Xenon Expert's DDM slim kit with the 35Watt. My question is what bulb do i select? Is there a chart somewhere where i can see what the options are for the bulb? Do i go with the H1 as its defaulted to? I own a 02 P5. thanks,
Antonio

ok, i think i figured it out...for the P5, we get the low beam only right? The H-4 or the 9007?
As stated already, the Bulb base style is H7 for the low beam
the XXXXK numbers are Kelvin color temp ratings.
The lower the number, the yellower with 4000K being pure white, 4300K is OEM in most high end luxury cars
any higher the number you go, they get blue then purple
and before someone says "BMW's are purple, iv'e seen it"
That is the flickr of the projectors. The light output is white, but, what YOU see is the projectors cutoff.
As you can see further down my beam pattern, the purple along the edge is due to the projectors, they bulb colors are 4300K
and in this one, lookin at the car, it looks blue, but, light output on the ground is pure white

Here is a link to an online bulb replacement guide, just in case you doubt anything we tell ya. as far as not being able to see with bulbs greater than 6k, well poor eyesight has something to do with that too. I have 12k 35w H7 bulbs and I can see everything just fine.

btw the higher the kelvin the lower light output you actually get. anything below 6k is ok. anything over is just retarded and mostly just for show.
