cool, do you know if it's the same bulbs for my M6?
As for everyone else, my car is an LCI and it works perfectly. I suggest ordering at least 4 bulbs, just so you have a couple of extra on hand.
The only thing you need are these. For $1.99, you can't beat it. This is what prevents the error codes.

Van - I don't believe they are the same size for the E63. How do I know? A friend of mine that lives in my town had me order him a set for his 650i. When we attempted to install them, the bulbs were too short. I'm thinking you might need the 44mm ones, which are right below.

Can you share some pics of how you installed those resistors? I'm getting errors on mine once in awhile before and now it's getting worse! Thanks.

Done deal, resistors $1.99. Bulbs $6.99 each. Install time, 8 minutes...
No error codes, no strobing at start-up...

but IMO, get Erick Pardal's kit for the OEM license plate light with cables
OEM BMW on the left, festoon bulb on the right side. NOTICE the lighting and how the OEM is better.
