The higher Kelvin you go the more glare that is given off and less useable light output, ie seeing distance.
But, if you are going for color, make it happen. I don't have a problem with the looks of the stock HIDs.

I thought the M had Bi-Xenon stock, besides the regular xenons will be plenty, I already bet pulled over all the time for the ones on my GT.

8500k? Good God they're going to be deep blue and you won't be able to see shit.
Stockers should be ~4300K, as that provides the most visible light for driving. I had 6000K for awhile, and loved them. The only reason I went back to stock is b/c one blew and I didn't buy any more. They were blue-purple-white-ish, depending on the distance, and there wasn't too much light lost. The higher you go, the less usable light you'll have; any lower than 4300 and you're getting closer to yellow, which is only good for cutting through fog/rain.

I have on my E46 M3 the 8k's! The 8k's I have on my E46 M3 are Really Bright. They were bright as Stock But they were Much more Zenon Bluish!!! I just decided on 8500k cuz thats what many people on the board were posting and I thought thats whats available for now on the M3! But Fuck it, Ill go with the 8ks cuz I dont want them to be Dark as Hell so i wont see Shit lol....I want them to be as bright as stock, If not brighter and keep that Bluish Color which I love(But not Too Blue!) Just like the Color when you just turn on the Stock Lights Just Bluer! My 8ks were that same color just a little more bluish!
