i used to like the oem 4300k (white) and 5000k (slight blue), but call me crazy, i've seen few hid's these days in the 3000k region, and it has that bright yellow, not halogen yellow, but neon yellow. its pretty unique, brighter than other temperatures, and isnt' as annoying as the purple crap u see on the roads.
stock

Question is why do you want to?
If it's for more light then stock. The higher the colour temperature the less usable light output.
If it's 'show' then whatever colour you want, but don't expect to see far
I'd also ask if you mean genuine BMW headlamp units, retrofit HID, or just 'halogen' bulbs filled with Xenon and possibly even coated

Did you read my post above? The answwer depends on what you wan tto achieve
IMHO 8000 are way too blue and little light output. plowy probably has the highest to be reasonable for on road use. My OEM are spot on.

go with 4300, as you will see the most, which is important for safety and driving fast at night on no lit roads, original is 4300 anyway, and trust me you can tell the difference right away between halogen and zenon.
