I would go for OEM headlights mainly because when the time comes to sell, someone might argue the headlights are not OEM (even though they're probably identical). The first ad that you had posted was for a fully equipped set of headlights - you can go for that.

You can buy the FRM (assuming you need one) from your local BMW dealership, it's not that expensive.

My advise is to first find the person who's going to code your car and the changes necessary to the wiring harness. I used bimmer-tech.net (not an endorsement, just sharing experience) for both - they provided the wiring schematics and remote coding for a reasonable amount. They can also tell you whether you need a new FRM or not.
Could you tell me please by PM the cost the bimmer-tech's service (i.e wiring and coding)? Thank you
