Headlight help required 2018 M6 G. coupe
Hi all, I recently had a little accident in my Gran coupe and managed to destroy the driver-side headlight. I am looking for a secondhand replacement and I’m confused by all the different part numbers listed for vehicles of the same description…
My headlight is a 7471302BMW adaptive LED I have seen all the models for sale with a different part number that are also for the same model and BMW adaptive LED, but I am unsure whether I can use a headlight for the same vehicle with a different part number. Any advice gratefully received |

I would use one of the online part database sites like Realoem.com or Bimmercat.com to look up the correct 11 digit BMW part nbr based on my car's VIN.
Once you have found the correct 11 digit BMW part nbr...both of those sites have part cross reference features...so if you click on the 11 digit BMW part nbr...those sites will provide additional information like older or newer part nbrs that are retroactively exchangeable...(or non exchangeable...which can help you avoid a mistake). This can help you wade through the used parts for sale...you can find the older or newer part nbrs that you can work with. Here's some examples searching generically for a Euro LCI 640dx w/LED adaptive headlights:

Ok so checked the sites suggested and what I found were vehicles in which the same light was used - I didn’t find alternative but compatible part numbers.
Here is the result https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/par...16&series=F06N So I’m still searching for compatibility issues between mine and other models of the same age 2014-2018 According to the realoem site my part number was released in 2015 PN 63117394916 I noticed a lot of the adaptive ones have at the bottom of the headlights a bit of a silver basil and the plastic base is a dark colour such as black or blue. However on mine it’s silver and grey and silver and grey. It’s very difficult to find secondhand Thanks |

The headlight design of the pre LCI & LCI are totally different…so one from from a Pre-LCI won’t work for your application. The pre LCI have the turn indicator located BELOW the headlight and the LCI models have the turn indicator located above the headlight & is incorporated in the eyebrow. The corona rings also have a slightly different shape. You should look for the LCI headlights and part nbrs that are retroactively exchangeable for the number you posted in your quote above. The pics below show the difference between the pre LCI (1st pic) and LCI (2nd pic)
