Original BMW Tail Light Left (Driver Side) for BMW F22 228i, M235i, 230i, M240i, and F87 M2 (2014–2017)

Mounted at the left rear corner, the Original BMW taillight 63-21-7-295-427 is the driver-side lamp for the 2014–2017 BMW 228i, 230i, M235i, and M240i, their xDrive versions, and the 2016–2017 M2. A taillight keeps the car visible to traffic behind it after dark and when weather cuts visibility, so a cracked, faded, or partly dark lamp is a safety problem as well as a cosmetic one. BMW names the part Tail light left, and this version has been built since November 2013. Each lamp weighs 2.1 kg (4.7 lb) and comes as a single left-side unit.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

This lamp supersedes 63-21-4-818-179. BMW classes the change as retrospective, which means the newer lamp can be fitted to cars that left the factory with the earlier number. BMW's parts data shows the same left lamp across the F22 2 Series and the F87 M2. It also spans a wide spread of engines, from the N20 and N26 in the 228i and the B46 in the 230i to the N55 in the M235i and M2 and the B58 in the M240i. Engine and drivetrain do not change the lamp, so a 228i xDrive and an M240i take the same part.

Common Questions

Which side is the left taillight?
Left is the driver's side on a left-hand-drive car, and this lamp fits that side only. The right-side lamp is a separate part ordered on its own.

What usually makes a taillight need replacing?
Sun damage and collisions are the most common reasons. Corrosion or cracking at the electrical connections, circuit board, or bulb sockets can also leave sections of the lamp unlit, and then the lamp has to be replaced.
