Which brake light is not working? The rear left, rear right, or rear center?

For example, when I look in my F06 (650ix GC) owners manual...it lists all of the bulb/lights for the rear tail light assembly. The f06 has TWO types of rear brake light bulbs...only one of them is easily replaceable (the inside bulb) and can probably be purchased just about anywhere automotive bulbs are sold ...and the other (outer brake light) is an LED. The owners manual also lists the (inside) replaceable brake light bulb's wattage and type:

See my post above (there may have been more added prior to your last post)...since your F10 and my F06 are generational "cousins"...there may be some very similar set-ups.
If you don't have an owners manual handy...just do a quick google/internet search for a BMW f10 5 series owners manual PDF"...then download or open it. You can then just do a quick search in Acobe Acrobat (probably the app that will open the PDF) and type "bulbs" to quickly find the rear tail light index and other info that may lead you to if your issue is an LED bulb or a simple replacement incandescent or halogen bulb. Are there any F10 owners reading this that can chime in with info? EDIT: I googled for an F10 owners manual...and just like I suspected...these generational "cousins" have a very similar set-up. It appears that you have an inner and outer brake light...and the inner light is replaceable (bulb is listed in owners manual...so should be easy to find at any auto parts store)...but the outer brake light is LED:

If it is the LED brake light that is out (not functioning)...then the fix may be a bit more complicated than the inner brake light bulb.
If it's the inner brake bulb that is out...then as listed in the owners manual...just type 21w h21w bulb into a google/internet search box to find vendors selling that bulb online. Or stop into your local Walmart/Target/AutoZone/Advanced Auto/Pep Boys/O'Reilly's/etc and go to the automotive bulb section to find a 21w H21W light bulb.

Good luck...and I do hope its the inner (easier bulb) that is causing your warning light.
