I hope you mean Bluish-white. If they are purplish-white then your xenon bulb is about to go out.

You have a coupe and a 335i. You have xenon's standard.

The best I can explain it is when you turn on your light the light should go blue-ish to a bright white. Also HID have a semi circle lense in the headlight where the halogen have not lense

Other wise ask you dealer, but from what I know all 335i come with HID

They're definitely not, I've had that happen before on my Infiniti and it turned pink when it went. But in my opinion, at least on E9x cars they're mostly white but have a just a tint or purple, but for whatever reason they come out blue in photos.

You'd lose some visibility, but you could get 6000k replacement bulbs.

Our X3's turned purple, and so did our 740's. Just sayin.

P.S. They don't just turn blue in pics. They are blue-ish white.
