As Ovekvam says, the whiter light does pick out the reflections strips alot better, so signs and road markings are alot more vivid, the road is abit brighter but you would get better results with a yellower light (wouldnt look as cool tho imo) - the upgraded bulbs changes the car's appearance too, looks alot sportier IMO.
I think BMW are aware as to how poor the OEM bulbs are, as they are quick to sell you one of their performance bulb kits for almost double/triple the price, but these wont be any different to those mentioned in this thread.

I almost bought a set of the performance bulbs for my 5 series F10 with halogen lights. But at the end decided against it and went with the Osram nightbreakers instead. Much cheaper. BMW should make xenon lights standard on all their cars....
