BMW M3 2011 Bulb Size
Bulb size chart
This 2011 BMW M3 bulb size guide helps you verify the correct replacement bulb by lighting position, so you can match the right part before you buy. Because the M3 could be equipped with different lighting setups depending on body style and market, it is important to confirm the exact lamp location on your car rather than relying on a single universal bulb list.
Use this page to check exterior and interior bulb fitment for the 2011 BMW M3, including headlights, fog lights, tail lights, brake lights, license plate lights, and cabin bulbs. The chart is organized by bulb position to make replacement easier whether you are servicing a coupe or sedan model.
Fitment can vary with trim, lighting package, and body style, so always compare the bulb on your car with the listing before ordering. Some positions may use LED assemblies, while others use replaceable halogen-style bulbs, and aftermarket LED conversions can change the required size or create compatibility issues. If your M3 has been modified, or if you are unsure whether it is halogen, xenon, or LED in a particular location, check the installed bulb or housing markings first to avoid buying the wrong part.
