Indeed, the BMW wiring detects blown bulbs.
I have LED sidelights and fitting a 5W load resistor keeps the "BMW Brain" happy.

I test fitted the LED Headlights at Williams and there is sufficient load from the main and dip beam units to keep the "BMW Brain" Happy.

These are the LOAD RESISTORS I used...., just £9.99 from Halfords.
