How do you get the bulb out? It has two prongs that seem too be holding it in evne though the bulb is now loose.

You have the entire bulb in your hand. You replace the whole lot. About £35.00 from BMW I believe.

Just done that job today on a 535d. Previous post is correct as the brown bit is part of the lamp itself.

Is there anywhere else other than BMW that you can get these from? All the ones on ebay that I can see are of the LED variety...

The LED ones are much brighter, last longer and give a nicer colour. The only downside is most good ones come from the far east and take a while to get here. They are much cheaper though.

Just my personal opinion, but I prefer the standard look - the LED ones just look a bit Ripspeed to me...
