Hi guys,

However, after i read my car manual it say my bulb is H7, I got a bit confuse can anyone help me with this?
should i exchange the bulb to H7 or H1 will fit my car just fine?

The low beam/light bulb that powers our Daytime running lights/Corona rings in the USA is H8!

Sorry if i misunderstand you, my question is the normal low Beam for non xenon headlight. Osram Said is H1 bulb and when i read the manual it Said H7 I already bought mtec H1 will this fit my headlight housing?

The E70 comes standard here with Xenon (USA)...sorry for my misunderstanding. Mercedes and BMW almost always use H7 for normal, low beam headlights. Just calling a BMW Service Dept, will give you a for sure answer.
