I don't think there is such thing as build "specifically for the newer BMW", since you have 55W HID kit and the original bulbs are 55W so they draw the same power. That’s why there is no error.
I was wondering if your fog lights create any glare, since 55W HID are extremely bright and tend to produce glare when installed in reflector housings.

This set was the 55W Kit which was not a slim ballast. Knowing what I know now, I would have asked for the slim ballast, as figuring out a place to put the ballast was a nightmare. You also need to keep the wires away from the PDC sensors, behind the bumper, as the magnetic current screws up the sensors when the Fogs are on. |
