You should be using xenon projectors to begin with. If the bulbs in the Bimmer projectors are H1s, then even if you get the xenon bulbs in, the pattern is going to be wrong and it'll still light up the road like crap.
Real xenon projectors use a slightly different variant of the D2R bulb you are currently using... it should look almost identical, only without the black shield on the bulb and a notch on a different side the base.

First off, BMW (Bosch) projectors are not worth doing a retro.
Secondly, if you are using HID projectors for your retro (not fog light projectors that use halogen bulbs, if you are then you need to stop right there and decide if you really know what you're doing) then you will need to purchase D2S bulbs to replace your D2R bulbs; the difference is D2S is made for projectors and D2R is made for reflectors.
If you want a bi-xenon projector I'd recommend either the TL projector or an FX-R projector (infiniti FX projector with a better lense).
