Original BMW Right Rear Side Panel Tail Light Bulb Carrier for BMW 3 Series Sedan and M3 E90 (2009–2011)

Mounted in the right-hand rear light in the side panel, this Original BMW bulb carrier holds the bulbs and their electrical contacts for that light on the 2009–2011 E90 3 Series sedan, including the M3. BMW calls it the bulb socket for the rear light in the side panel, right, and has supplied it for the facelifted E90 since September 2008. It weighs 105 g (0.2 lb) and is made in Italy. A bulb carrier is the plate that locates each bulb in the housing and connects it to the harness. When a damaged housing lets water inside, the electrical contacts can corrode and the light can malfunction, and moisture behind the lens is the visible sign.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

This part number covers the right side only, so the left light takes a different carrier. Engine choice does not change it within the cars PMB covers. BMW uses this one carrier across the facelift E90 range, from the N51 and N52N six-cylinders in the 328i to the N54 and N55 turbo engines in the 335i, the M57N2 diesel in the 335d, and the S65 in the M3.
