That price sounds about right from BMW. They aren't cheap over here either. I know aftermarket Philips or Osram(OE) xenon bulbs run about 100 euros each. They are 200 euros at the dealer.
I think over time the xenon bulb's color change. I know on my old e39 with xenons... the former owner(s) must have changed one of the bulbs, bc the color is different. I've heard even IF you use the same bulb brand and type, the color will be off, when using one new bulb with one old bulb.
I think its anyone's guess how long xenon bulbs last. Bottom line... if your not happy with the bulb color/output... you might as well buy yourself a new set. The one caveat - would be to make sure those bulb covers are 100% closed... bc we all know what happens when moister gets inside the lamps. $$$$.
