I live in the Middle East. I have a '92 E36 with euros
(it is standard here). 
Like you mentioned, the inner lamps (closest to the
middle) work as highs and the outers are indeed lows. 

The highs have a second set of lamps (lower wattage)
that are parking lamps. 

In the "park" position of the h/l switch, the parking
lamps in the inner lights are on.
In the "On" position, both the lows and the parking
lights remain on.
In the high beam mode, the highs are on, in addition
to the lows and the parks. 

all bulbs are single filaments. the high wattage bulbs
are 12V55W H-1.

I hope this helps.

Jake.
