I'm thinking it could be the ballast-any ideas or insights? If so, is it ok to purchase just one ballast or do I need to do in pairs for some reason. If so, does anyone know what the OEM ballast is (is it Phillips)? Should I ebay it or is there another suggestion?
I have an E53 2001 x5 3.0i, original owner.
As always, thanks in advance!

I would try and replace the driver-side ballast with the passenger-side and see if that fixes it. I don't believe they are L/R exclusive and I don't think you have to code/program anything.
Also, not sure if yours is similar to my 04 but you could try exchanging the igniters too.
