If you can get to it then it is a straight swap. Many BMWs now seem to need the front bumper removing!!
It's a D1S type. Osram Xenarc Nightbreaker series are highly recommended. Around £50-£60 each. A BMW Dealer will charge you a mortgage for one though.

Re: Xenon bulb replace
I would go for an aftermarket kit, on ebay you can get a pair of bulbs, 2 ballasts, and wiring in a kit for £30, just pull out the original oem ballasts and bulbs and swop (you could even sell the original ballasts on ebay and get your money back).
Even upgrade to 55w system for peanuts.
I have done this and bought Chinese (had to wait 3 weeks, but so what), never had a problem with quality.

Discount is from cotswold bmw Hereford on the forum ,I bought a pair of osram bulb rich X5Sport advise on .. well happy with it looks even better than the OEM bulb .the OEM BULB is yellowish whereas the osram is white which matches the angel better . Big thanks to X5Sport .
