my requirements are:

1) similar temperature color of the xenons,
2) brighter than the standard non-led bulbs,
3) maintain the definition/separation of the xenon and angle eyes when both are on (not one big blob of light)

Would the 189s be a fit for me, or would another set of lux angel eyes be better...

i have a 2009 pre-lci e92 m3 coupe...
If you have a 5000K xenon bulb then the LUX H8 189 may not be a perfect match as those are meant to match up with the stock 4300K. The LUX H8 V6 will likely be a better option as they are adjustable white color and you can set them to match the xenon color better.

with #3 - the blob of light is only in pictures as the camera will often overexpose the light causing it to look like a blob. In person this does not happen as your eyes adjust accordingly
