BMW M5 2009 Bulb Size
Bulb size chart
This 2009 BMW M5 bulb size page is designed to help you verify the correct bulbs by lighting position, so you can match the right part before you buy. Because interior and exterior lighting can vary by market, trim, and body style, it is always best to confirm the bulb type for the exact lamp location on your car.
For the 2009 BMW M5, the available bulb chart includes several interior positions such as the glove box, trunk or cargo area, dome light, map light, and courtesy lights, plus the headlight bulb type for the high beam and low beam system. Use the location-specific listings below to narrow down fitment and avoid ordering the wrong bulb.
Fitment can change with trim level, lighting package, and regional specifications, so a bulb that works on one 2009 M5 may not match another exactly. This is especially important if your car has halogen-to-LED changes, aftermarket replacement lamps, or previous repairs that altered the original setup. Before purchasing, check the bulb currently installed in the vehicle and compare its base, shape, and connector style with the chart. If the car has been converted to LED or uses nonfactory parts, the installed bulb may differ from the original equipment listing.
