The 9005 and 9006 plugs are universal. The wiring plugs directly into the bulb, so any car that has 9005 and/or 9006 bulbs is going to have the 9005 and 9006 plugs. There is nothing special about them and they can be found anywhere. Also aftermarket HID kits use 9005 plugs.
Unfortunately the same is not true for Euro ellipsoids. They require a proprietary BMW connector. I'm not sure of the part numbers at the moment. If you are running HID in the lows you just want to get 9005 for those. For the highs the plugs are white and there are two kinds; the straight and the bent connector. They are interchangeable. Also you will need the actual plug wire insert thingies, two per connector. These also come in straight or bent and you obviously have to match this to the connector. Also the connectors are not only used for the Euro high beams. I'm not sure where on the car anymore, but I found one of the straight connectors somewhere on my US car. On realoem they are listed under diverse plugs / connectors or something like that.
Also FYI, you can mix and match US and Euro ellipsoid highs and lows because the plastic brackets are identical.

for the euro lights, you can use the connector that powers the windshield washer pump if you shave down one corner so it fits. you also have to spice the "city lamp" in the top to the fog lights on the side.sigpic
