Go here..

And take a look at the osram silverstar or the phillips blue vision
great bulbs and a real nice white light.

Unless you want to convert to HID, but this is a lot more expensive.

Thanks for that quick answer.

What kind of lamps do you have in your M3?

Best regards,
Patrick

Smoked hellas fitted with the phillips blue vision bulbs, the bulbs fitted I've had for about 3 years now, and they've been in 4 different cars!

Aside from HID, the Osram Silverstar H1s are going to give you the most light output. Although the blue-vision bulbs give the appearance of HID, they actually emit less light due to the tint on the bulb.

Great place to buy them in the UK, and they have great service.
