In the test I posted they said the BMW LED's had an extremely strong area in the foreground, but it faded further away, so my theory and experience with both lights made me thik that as the X lights are higher up than the 3-series tested, they just might work better (my theory, no fact)

I think both are good choices, but I wanted adaptive headlights and the price differnce was not that big, it only made sense if I wouldnt have taken the adapative system, which was nt an option for me.
You are thorough, as always your input is insightful. I thought Bi-Xenons were adaptive (meaning lights bend as the car turns whilst traveling at 60km/hr). Also for resale, LED are probably better if not in pricing but for sure in preference over Bi_X. Side note, I am surprised that you are still F25-less.
