"D1S" is printed right on it. Just don't buy some cheap Chinese bulbs or counterfeit ones. Get a pair and replace both so they match.

Top tip. If in the UK where It is often just a little overcast and you use the auto headlight feature like I do, you can more than double the life of these bulbs by reducing the sensitivity of when the lights go from DRL to main headlight. It's too sensitive imo and the auto headlights come on when it's actually a nice day. I used bimmercode and had to go into expert mode, I can't remember the setting but some googling will help you find it.
