Its about time to change the bulbs of my M5. I'm assuming the bulb types are the same on an M5 and a regular 5 series (unless the M5 uses M bulbs lol). I've seen mixed answers, that it uses D1S bulbs and have saw some people saying it uses D2S. Which one is it? thanks

AFAIK it should be printed around the ring of the Xenon projector lens.

+1 you can check that way

low beam I believe it would be D2S though, high beam would be H7.
