BMW M3 2017 Bulb Size

Bulb size chart

The 2017 BMW M3 uses a mix of LED lighting and a few position-specific bulb types, so the correct replacement depends on exactly where the bulb is used. This page helps you verify bulb sizes by lighting position, making it easier to match the right part for the headlamps, exterior lamps, and interior lights on your car.

Because trim level, lighting package, and market can change the fitment, the same 2017 BMW M3 may not use the same bulb in every location. Use the bulb chart below as a position-by-position guide before ordering, especially for headlights, turn signals, brake lights, and interior courtesy lights.

For the best fitment results, confirm whether your M3 has LED headlights, HID headlights, or another lighting package before buying parts, since some positions differ by setup. This is especially important on cars with aftermarket conversions or replacement assemblies, where the installed bulb type may not match the original factory configuration. If you are unsure, remove the old bulb and compare the base, connector, and markings before purchase. Checking the installed bulb first is the safest way to avoid ordering the wrong part, particularly for trim and package differences across markets and body styles.
