Under the hood in the relay box is the infamous orange hi-beam relay. Try rocking it in its socket a little and see if that works. I've had to do this once or twice even after doing the DIY resoldering (see other postings on this solution..) inside the relay which is a fix for some bad factory soldering. Rocking the relay at a later date may be a short term fix for a poor connection outside of the relay and more in the socket. Give it a try, then look into the internal soldering fix.
P.S. - I can't imagine BMW motorcyle bulbs are any cheaper than the Saab H7 halogen bulbs that burn out too frequently (twice a year..) on my 1999 9-5..
Best of luck..
