I had a similar problem at about 80K miles with my 99 9-3. My original bulbs lasted a long time.
I had my left front burn out. My dumb ass decided to get two bulbs and change them both (while I was at it). Anyway, I swapped Sylvania bulbs into both positions and I was losing one every 10K or so, intermittently from both positions. at $10 a throw, it was annoying, but not the end of the world. I had my father in law (who works for a parts place) pick me up some bulbs at a much lower cost. These were both Cooper bulbs. I have not replaced one since and I am at 133K now. Find the Cooper bulb (Parts Plus carries them that I know of) and see if you have the same issue with bulb life.
Hope this helps.
