Original BMW Left Fog Light for BMW E46 3 Series, M3, E39 5 Series, and M5 (2000–2006)

Built in Slovakia for BMW, this Original BMW left fog light, part number 63-17-7-894-017, is the complete fog lamp assembly for the left side of E46 3 Series and E39 5 Series models, including the M3 and M5. Fog lights sit low on the car and throw a wide, short beam onto the road just ahead, which helps in fog, rain, and snow without the glare a headlight can bounce back. This assembly weighs 317 g (0.7 lb). BMW shows production of this version beginning in September 2000. It is sold individually as a single left-side unit.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

This number replaced the earlier fog light, part number 63 17 2 228 613. BMW marks that change as not interchangeable retrospectively, so the two numbers should not be treated as a free swap on every car. Because the right side uses its own part, check which corner needs replacing. The same left assembly covers a wide spread of engines, from the M52, M54, and M56 sixes to the S54 in the E46 M3, and the M62 V8 and S62 V8 in the E39 540i and M5.

Common Questions

My fog light has moisture inside. Does the assembly need replacing?
Condensation inside the housing points to a failing seal or a crack in the housing.

My fog light flickers. Is the light itself bad?
Not always. Dim or flickering fog lights can come from electrical connections, a dying bulb, corroded wiring, the switch, or the relay.

Will it work in place of 63 17 2 228 613?
BMW superseded that number with this one but flags the change as not interchangeable retrospectively, so confirm with your VIN first.
