Your fogs are not HID unless you or a previous owner put HIDs in them.. I actually just bought those same bulbs for my high beams and got them a few days ago. They're alright. It says 7000k but i think definitely not. My 6000k HIDs are much white/bluer than them but I mainly got them for the look of the blue bulb reflecting in the housing while off so I'm satisfied.

EDIT : do you know what brand your yellow bulbs are?

Maybe that bmw has the "stage 2" bulbs by nokya because my stage 1 7000k do not look that blue.
