bi xenon vs xenon

I have a 06 330i with adaptive xenons or bi xenons; not sure but I know there adaptive and the inner is my DRL's and flash to pass. I thought bi xenons were low and high in the outer light. I am asking because I am looking online to replace my fading headlight housings. So I am looking on ECS tuning and an they show a housing that looks like mine but have one under bi xenon and one under xenon that both look like mine. Can someone chime in on what I have and clarify if my high n low beams come out of the outer lights on my car? Just a tad bit confused and before I make a expensive purchase I need to get this right; lol. Also and feedback on the brands? I was looking and see brands like valeo, hella, ZKW and of coarse BMW. Thanks for any help!

answer depends on if you are e90/91 vs e92/93.
"bi-xenon" means the main (outside) projector has a motorized cutoff eyelid thing to switch instantly between high and low beam from the same projector using the same bulb.

It's a 06 e90. The inner is just the H& bulb that only works as my DRL and flash to pass.
