Ok well I dont want it to look chav but I also dont want it to look yellow as Im trying to get the car to look as fresh as possible given its nearly 10 years old now. 5000k sounds right.
4300k doesn't look yellow at all really. 5000k may be closer to natural daylight (6500k) but where headlights are concerned the output has a blue tint to it from certain angles. 4300k doesn't.
4300k:
And on the road it doesn't project a yellow beam either:

I think 5000k is what I want from looking at photos people have posted. Did you fit yours yourself mrk?
Mine are 4300k and it doesn't look yellow at all.
While we're on the topic of the colour of lights, perhaps you guys could recommend me some nice bright white LEDs. I want one for my rear plate and boot, both 501. There's so many out there I don't know which will be good. I want ones that give the same light at the stock ones on new model BMW for example.

No problem. So many kits around
These caught me eye but cant see why the one is nearly double the price.

What you guys think?
I am sometimes a bit blind but that cheaper set don't claim to be canbus compatible. You will therefore get errors from the car thinking the bulbs are out.

Your totally right I missed that. Thanks. 
If they were anything like the ones on my 335i , I don't blame you. Picked mine up and within a week ditched the runflats.

Went with these in the end due to so many been sold really.
CANBUS XENON HID CONVERSION KIT ICE WHITE ERROR FREE H7 6000K
Not really fussed if its alittle blue as long as it dont look totally chav.
Thinking of getting these for my fogs as well or would the ones with the little projector style domes on the tops of them be better? I want to keep the correct beam pattern.
