Headlight bulb

Just outside with friend who has 2003 bmw x5. There headlights are bright and almost blueish, needless to say I really like them. Does anyone know what these are? and do they fit the 05 z4. Thx

You have HIDs?
They come in every color temp from yellow (3,000K) to purple (10,000K).
Stock is around 4,500K.

Beware of cheap eBay knockoffs.

Halogens also come in yellow or white. I've found on my previous car that the whiter they are, the faster they burn out, which makes sense. They just drive the filament hotter.
