BMW M5 2010 Bulb Size
Bulb size chart
This page helps you verify bulb sizes for the 2010 BMW M5 by lighting position, so you can match the correct replacement before you buy. Because the M5 can vary by market and body style, it is important to check each lamp location separately instead of assuming every bulb is the same across the car.
For this year/model, the listed fitments include LED rear lighting, D1S headlight bulbs, and several interior and utility bulbs such as 6418, 2886X, 7507, 7506R, 921, and 2827. Use the bulb chart below to identify the right bulb for the specific function you are servicing, whether it is a brake light, reverse light, license plate light, or cabin lamp.
Fitment can change with trim, lighting package, and market, so always compare the bulb chart with the bulb already installed in your car before ordering. The 2010 BMW M5 may use halogen-style service bulbs in some positions and LED assemblies in others, and aftermarket LED conversions can affect size, connector style, and warning behavior. If your car has been modified, or if a previous owner replaced a bulb with a non-original type, checking the existing bulb first is the safest way to avoid a mismatch.
