You may want to look into buying a Xenon Headlamp Kit, which will give you instructions on how to do this yourself:

Most of these say that they can be easily installed in less than 30 minutes.

I don't think its an upgrade kit he's looking for. M3's come with Xenon bulbs.

BMW has made it very difficult to change the headlights. Basically, you have to remove the wheel well and then use this deconstruction diagram to take the bulb out.

I suspect that the reasoning behind this is that Xenon lamps (supposedly) rarely burn out. However, I've had one burn out myself. I might talk to a BMW service manager. Even if not under warranty, they may replace it for free.
