You're talking about HIDs right? Most of those factory HIDS run at 4300k, its the projector prism that gives it the "color shift" effect.

There's a 3rd gen forum. Look for a thread that says let me see your e36's. Then buy a pair off ebay go through hours of installation. Buy a HID Kit not xenon light bulbs but the real thing. I also suggest you learn more about cars if you don't know what bulbs the big car manufacturers have. They'll fit your stock headlights but it'll be a waste of money because of our reflector pattern.

no no no, just take your OEM bulbs and dip them in a special blue automotive bulb paint (can't recall manufacturer right now). you must let them dry for 24 hours first.

You must speak of bi-xenon HID's through a projector. These are very different than ricer blue bulbs. bi-xenon HIDs = (more or less) $500, ricer blue bulbs = $15 (ebay).
