So, just digging around it looks like the above part is for an E90/E91 headlight retrofit fro a 2008 LCI. Not sure it would work for the 2012 E82 retrofit, but I guess it's possible that BMW would use the same cable. I think there may be an additional wiring harness as well.

Does the above wire look like it might be at least as useful as the one you used? At this point, I'm thinking any wire will require some modification and probably soldering, as it looks like there is no dedicated plug-and-play solution out there (which is odd, because they have an official retrofit for 3ers and Z4's, and also a retrofit cable for E82 LCI taillights - just not headlights - oh well).

Thanks for your input.
I've read the E90 and E82 headlights use the same harness so in theory it should contain the exact cable you need
