LED reverse light upgrade on LCI F25

Quick question guys, what type of LED bulb do I need in order replace the OEM halogen reverse lights? Something that doesn't throw an error would be great.

Also what type, t10, t20? what wattage?

thank you!

Check your owner's manual. My 2013 X3 is W16W 16W.
Just ordered from AliExpress:
