It's probably a D2S bulb if it's the Xenon one, different from H7's and you can't buy them in most shops. Having said that, I just replaced the xenons in my M5 and it's
only the main beam that's xenon and the dipped IS H7. I shall google it for you and see if
I can find out.

usually if a proper xenon bulb has blown its the ballast unit at fault if you fit a new bulb they will usually blow again soon after
the bulbs used to be £80 plus vat each as well when xenons first came about!!!
