The BMW Z3 is a roadster produced by BMW from 1996 to 2002. The Z3 contains three light bulbs on its instrument panel. This is to help the driver see the gauges and indicator lights in darkened conditions. If the bulbs were to burn out, the driver should replace them immediately for safety reasons. The BMW Z3 uses small 12V bulbs. These bulbs can be purchased for relatively low prices at nearly all automotive stores.
