Do not even think of the cheap HID kits. DDM and many others offer lifetime warranty on some made in China kits. I bought several kits for my previous car (Infiniti G37x) for the fog lights and they always flickered and one or the other went off after a short period of time. Then you end up uninstalling, replacing, etc. It's a PITA. Does not matter if you have standard, CANBUS, error eliminator etc. I'd go with an inexpensive CREE or blue bulbs of reputable brand, although they do not last too long either.
I'd only go with 5 Series HID Kit made by Philips. Genuine PHILIPS conversion kit ($269.99) plus the Problem Eliminator WRN-CNSLR (HID Problem Eliminator Plugs for 5 Series HID Kit 2011+).
