Headlights OEM BMW or Bosch
Literally today I am putting my repaired headlight back in my F10. Was worse than yours, but started off looking like yours. Eventually I started getting faults for the headlight as water contaminated the electrics.
Cons: water contaminated electrics

Ended up finding someone on marketplace, set me up with a solid used set of Bosch headlights for a good price.
Pros: good price
Nooo. Return them. Get the DEPO headlights. Good ZKW/Bosch sets are expensive nowadays and DEPOs are perfectly fine.
Pros: Good sets available
Cons: Expensive nowadays

If it's still functional, remove it, dry the interior carefull with a heat gun and apply a silicon clear sealant around the headlight-- where the black and clear plastic meet. Put everything back together.
Pros: silicon sealant fixed problem

BMW X3
I\u2019ve had both a pre-facelift M3 and LCI M3 CS. Honestly they are both great and I think the LCI is a nice new interpretation of the halos. Alternatively, I don\u2019t think the pre-LCI needed a new interpretation. Either way, they are both better than newer version, which still look to me like they are upside down.
Pros: great new interpretation
Cons: newer version upside down

There is a good chance you can take apart the unit with a heat gun and re-seal it ive done it before on Honda, Toyota, Ford, GM, Dodge... Those headlights are a good $3K a pop new in Canada for OEM BMW.
Pros: can re-seal it
Cons: headlights are expensive

My wife\u2019s 2020 118i headlight had the yellow issue in one. Non-dealer bmw shop quoted us $3,500 but we had to do both for $7,000. About 50% of the residual value of the car, for a yellow headlight.
Cons: yellow issue

Replacing a single headlight on our BMW x5 was $7,500.
